Club Presents $1,000 Check to 2024 Essay Contest Scholarship Winner

Harford County Republican Women (HCRW) President Linda Stine Flint presented a $1,000 check to essay contest scholarship winner Lily Corpuz, a senior at Harford Technical High School. Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly, who is also a club associate member, presented Lily with a citation and coin. Lily then read her essay to the club members.

The annual scholarship contest is for female senior high school students (public, private or homeschool) who will be attending a college or trade school in the fall. Contestants are required to give their opinion on the thoughts of Abraham Lincoln and to cite current and historical examples to support their opinion. The essay quote was, “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.” (Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865)
