More than 200 scholarships were awarded to the graduating senior class at Knoxville High School during the Scholarship Banquet on Wednesday. The scholarships were sponsored by a number of local businesses and families as well as the Dollars for Scholars program. Knoxville Education Foundation president David Hoke says that many times, the young men and women that receive community scholarships will return and reinvest in Knoxville down the line, after finishing their education. Among those scholarship recepiants was Maria Finan, the winner of the KNIA/KRLS Business and Broadcasting scholarship.
