We have completed six years of awarding scholarships. We have awarded 22 scholarships for a total dollar amount of $33,500. We are most grateful to everyone who has generously donated to the program. Remember, our children and grandchildren are our future.
No one knows what the future holds for the possibility of a seventh U.S.S. Saratoga. This is a way to make sure that the great name, U.S.S. Saratoga continues on.
