2011 Angie Houtz Memorial Scholarship Winners

On the 10th anniversary of her death it seems only fitting that we announce the students who have been chosen as the 2011 Angie Houtz Memorial Scholarship winners.

Each year I am in awe of the talented young people who apply for the scholarship.

This scholarship was started after Angie was killed on 9/11/2001 in the Pentagon.

Criteria for the scholarship include:

  • Attending (or planning to attend) a MD public university or college
  • Minimum 3.0 GPA
  • Exemplary record of community service
Despite the tragic way we lost her, I know Angie would be proud of the many students that have been helped in her honor.
