The John Garrett
Scholarship
John Garrett graduated from St. Joseph High School in
1979. On April 14, 1994 he was killed when a black hawk
helicopter he was piloting was mistakenly shot down over a
“no-fly” zone in northern Iraq by American F-15 fighters.
Since education was very important to him, the John William
Garrett, Jr. Memorial Scholarship was established. His family
wants to help with tuition for next year in the way of a
scholarship. The winner receives a $500 scholarship.
This student was selected by John’s family after reading his/her
essay on “My Dream Is To…”

The recipient of this
year's John Garrett
Scholarship is:
Zhou Yinan
