Five Roseburg High School seniors have been chosen as the semi-finalists for the 2025 Future First Citizen Award.
A Roseburg High School Foundation release said the students will share $26,000 in scholarship money, with the winner earning $10,000 toward tuition at the college of their choice. The remaining four finalists will each receive $4,000 scholarships.
Foundation President Brian Prawitz said the award recognizes five top seniors as future leaders, volunteers, supporters and role models who will make a difference in their community.
Prawitz said the semi-finalists are Annan Kohlberg, Sylvia Eckman, Owen Miller, Nilisha Patel and Grace Harris.
The students will be interviewed by a panel that includes a representative from the foundation, a past winner of the Future First Citizen Award, and three local business leaders who have donated to the scholarship fund.
The winner will be announced at the Roseburg High School Foundation Scholarship Night set for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12th at the RHS student center.
The Future First Citizen recognition and scholarship award was initiated for the RHS seniors 25 years ago. The Roseburg High School Foundation Board assumed oversight of this recognition in 2020.
