Scholarships

2024 recipient of the Michael Drahos scholarship (created back in 2016 by Operation Southern Comfort) is a deserving Morrisville-Eaton student who exemplified care and service for others. Her name is Phoebe Straight. She helped after school with a kindergarten class and assisted with arts and crafts at Lebanon Campground in the town of Lebanon in Madison County. Phoebe is additionally a member of National Honor Society and was involved with the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) association). As a multi-sport athlete, Phoebe shared that one of her role models is Track and Field Olympian Allyson Felix because she used her platform and voice to advocate for women’s issues like maternal health and girls’ empowerment. After high school, Phoebe will attend college to major in Business Administration. Congratulations!
