Students receive scholarship checks at foundation luncheon

Laboratory Director John Browne and Brandon Whitehead, right, share a laugh at a Laboratory Foundation luncheon awards presentation Tuesday in the Jemez and Cochiti rooms of the J. Robert Oppenheimer Study Center at Technical Area 3. The foundation hosted the luncheon to distribute scholarship checks to students who received a Los Alamos Employees' Scholarship Award. Whitehead graduated last spring from Capital High School in Santa Fe and will attend New Mexico State University.

Pecos High School graduate and University of New Mexico-bound Diego Lucero talked at Tuesday's luncheon about his Laboratory mentor and his experience working this summer in Weapons Systems Engineering (ESA-WSE). The recently completed employees' scholarship fund drive has collected more than $165,000 in pledges and donations. For more information, see the April 29 Daily Newsbulletin. Photos by LeRoy N.
