The Coral Springs City Commission recognized 13 deserving high school seniors who were awarded Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarships for their freshman year in college.

With the generous assistance of the Coral Springs Community Chest as the major donor, the Coral Springs Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee was able to match their contribution, as well as supplement the Scholarship fund further by donations from various individuals and businesses in the community. The students were selected on the basis of financial need, quality of community involvement and were interviewed by a panel made up of representatives of the Community Chest and the Martin L. King, Jr. Committee.

The recipients of the MLK Scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year are:

Coral Glades High

Joseph Schatt, Patrycia Tomaszewicz and Chad Thaler

Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High

Raphael Lindor, Winnie Ng and Gianni Vielot

J.P. Taravella High

Gemma Horn

Coral Springs Charter

Yessika Noriega, Lydia Wang and J’Ryan Hassanali

High School seniors who are residents of Coral Springs and attend Coral Glades High, Coral Springs Charter School, Coral Springs High, Stoneman Douglas High and J.P.
