FALLSBURG — Jaedon Espinoza and Adam Mednick, graduating seniors at Fallsburg High School, have been named the 2024 recipients of the Marion and Philip Salon Memorial Scholarship Award.
Jaedon, son of Jeannette and Edgar Espinoza of Woodridge, N.Y., and Adam, son of Shari and Michael Mednick of Rock Hill, will each receive $1,000 toward their first year of post-secondary studies. Jaedon intends to matriculate at SUNY Sullivan while Adam will start at Worchester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts this fall.
Both students were selected for their commitment to community service and their excellent academic records.
Adam is the fourth member of his family to receive the Salon Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship, which is named in memory of two lifelong Hurleyville residents, is designated annually for at least one graduating senior at Fallsburg Central School who has made a serious commitment to service in ways that benefit the community and its citizens or have overcome a significant personal challenge.
The annual Salon scholarship is funded by the children and relatives of Marion and Phil Salon, whose two children, Shep and Rebecca, graduated from Fallsburg Central High School in the 1960s.
Marion and Phil Salon were the owners and operators of a bungalow colony and Salon’s Corners, a convenience store, over a 40-year period. Mr. Salon served for 24 years on the board of education of the Fallsburg Central Schools.
