Applause!
Amanda Pierno, daughter of Robert and Theresa Pierno of Uniontown and a sophomore at Laurel Highlands High School, has been granted a full scholarship to attend Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week 2002 on the campus of Lycoming College, Williamsport. Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week is a weeklong economic education program that offers students an inside look at the private enterprise system and the way the free marked functions. Pierno will attend week three of the four one-week sessions offered this summer. Pennsylvania teachers and counselors recommend the candidates who are then reviewed by the PFEW staff. Admission is based on motivation to learn that is demonstrated through essays submitted by the applicants. Those accepted are awarded scholarships, which cover all program costs.
