We started a scholarship program last January called: The Lisa Udy Team Excellence In Business Scholarship. Well, we have a winner, and I wanted to post her essay here on my blog. To win the scholarship, applicants were required to write a one page essay on the best reasons for living in Cache Valley, Utah. The winner was picked by our local school board members and teachers at Logan High School.
