KELSEYVILLE – This year’s recipients of the J. Fletcher and Anne A. Elliott Educational Scholarship awarded on June 4 at Kelseyville High School are seniors Jason Vaughan and Luis Perez.

This year’s award is $10,000 to each recipient. 

Both young men have outstanding academic and athletic high school careers. They are ranked very high in their class. And both had exemplary athletic success through their high school years with Jason playing four years of football and Luis four years of varsity soccer. 

Vaughan is going to UC Merced to major in computer science, while Perez is going to UC Davis. 

“This scholarship will put a real dent in my costs, so maybe I won’t have to eat Top Ramen,” Vaughan said. 

Perez said, “This is a huge stress reliever and weight off my shoulders to allow me to focus on school and not having to worrying so much about having to pay for it.”

This scholarship foundation was originally established by the late Anne Elliott with the help of Rian Sommerfield at Nestegg Investment Consulting and is expected to fund future scholarships for decades to come in memory of her husband J. Fletcher.
