Impossible Possibilities awarded five students $1,500 college scholarships as part of its annual Scholarship Initiative.

More than 50 students in the Tarrant and Dallas counties submitted scholarship applications. The Impossible Possibilities’ Board of Directors interviewed 10 finalists and based its decision on the following criteria: academic achievement, life experience, individual need and desire to succeed.

“It’s such a rewarding experience to learn more about the dreams these students have for their lives,” President Joshua Hernandez said. “Our Board had a very difficult time choosing this year’s scholarship class because all 10 finalists were deserving candidates, each equipped with a proven track record and undeniable potential.”

The Impossible Possibilities’ 2010 Scholarship Class includes:

Morgan Bruton, Lamar High School (Texas A&M at College Station)

Mitongu Kabasele, Green B. Trimble Technical High School (University of Texas at Austin)

Shannon Page, Oscar Dean Wyatt High School (Texas Woman’s University in Denton)

Ramandeep Singh, Green B. Trimble Technical High School (University of Texas at Arlington)

Steven Stults, Haltom High School (Texas Christian University)

The students will be recognized at the 2nd Annual St. Patrick's Day-5K Festival on March 13. The five-hour celebration features a 5K run/walk, 1-mile kids' race, live music, kid zone, sponsor expo, food and beverages. The festival runs from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Trinity Park located at 2401 University Drive in Fort Worth.
