Rehoboth Beach Bears Award Scholarships


The Rehoboth Beach Bears awarded $1,000 scholarships to three students during the Senior Awards Program held on June 2 at the Cape Henlopen High School. The deserving students were Erycca Curry and Leonora Demerutis, both of Rehoboth Beach, and Richie Dillard of Millsboro. Since the program was started in 2016, the Bears have awarded scholarships to 19 graduates of local high schools.


“The scholarships are merit-based, not based on financial need,” explains Kenny Mahan, Scholarship Committee Co-Chair and Board Vice-President for the Rehoboth Beach Bears. “We wanted to recognize these students for their commitment to make their school and their community a more welcoming place to be.” Applicants had answered questions about their involvement with Cape Henlopen’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), as well as their activities to promote inclusion and diversity.


Said teacher Greg Berman, “Leonora shows great interest in LGBTQ+ advocacy and is always interested in learning more about ways to show pride and support others.” Dillard has been an advocate for years, having been instrumental in starting a GSA at Beacon Middle School. Curry is very active in the GSA at Cape as a board member, as well as volunteering at Edwards Christmas Village and helping children with mental health issues.


Curry will be attending Delaware State University in the fall, while Demerutis will be studying at the University of Delaware. Dillard will head out-of-state to attend the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. ▼
