The Tennessee Valley Fair Foundation has announced Lilah von Gruenigen and Mason Valentine as the 2024 recipients of the Dwight Kessel Leadership Scholarship.
Lilah from Powell will be attending Sewanee: The University of the South, while Mason from Seymour is set to begin his studies at Johns Hopkins University Peabody Institute.
The Dwight Kessel Leadership Scholarship, a one-time $1,000 award, is presented annually to a graduating senior from East Tennessee. This scholarship is funded by the Tennessee Valley Fair Foundation and is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of many individuals and companies who support the Foundation. Named in honor of longtime Tennessee Valley Fair board member Dwight Kessel, the scholarship recognizes exceptional leadership and community involvement.
“We are incredibly proud of Lilah and Mason for their outstanding achievements and leadership within our community,” said Kristen Bright, Tennessee Valley Fair Foundation director. “The Dwight Kessel Leadership Scholarship honors their dedication and hard work, and we are excited to see all they will accomplish in their future endeavors.”
