Some $21,000 in scholarships were awarded Tuesday night (May 24) at the Monroe Public Schools Board of Education meeting.  The annual event is a time when Monroe Public Schools awards scholarships to its top students in what is believed to be the only program of its kind in a public school in Monroe County.  Besides the MPS scholarships, two other types of scholarships were awarded Tuesday night.  Three students each were awarded $1,000 Chris Butler scholarships to honor the former MPS administrator who died earlier this year.  In addition, seven students received $1,000 Sean Brady Memorial Scholarships, named after the MHS grad who was killed in a vehicle accident last year while he was working a summer internship.
