At the Annual Alexander Senior Awards night, Brooke Kochmanski of Alexander High School was the first recipient of the Sgt. Thomas Sanfratello Memorial Scholarship.
Genesee County high school seniors can apply and must be a resident of Genesee County. Applicant must be a graduating high school senior who will be attending an accredited college or university in the fall. The scholarship award must be payable to an accredited college or university and must be pursuing a career in a criminal justice field.
