The Friends of Casa Navarro created the José Antonio Navarro Distinguished Student Scholarship Award in honor of Navarro’s passion for education. Now in its third year, four students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship.
The 2010 Scholarship Recipients are:
- John Alexander Ferguson III, Alamo Heights High School
- Jenna Caroline Barnett, John Marshall High School
- Eric Andrew Johnston, Sandra Day O’Connor High School
- Haley Michelle Hoekstra, Comfort High School
About the Award
A total of 40 high school seniors from throughout the San Antonio area applied for the scholarship this year. Among the criteria considered by the scholarship committee were the student’s scholastic achievement, leadership qualities and a demonstrated awareness of the needs and issues within his or her community.
Interested students were asked to visit Casa Navarro State Historic Site and then include a two- to three-page essay that portrayed the student’s personal experience in reflecting on José Antonio Navarro’s life and spirit. The students were asked to refer to his or her reflections upon visiting the Casa Navarro and how Navarro’s historical participation influenced his world and how his contributions are relevant today.
