William E. Angelo and his brother, the late Dr. E. James Angelo Jr., established the scholarship in memory of their parents. Recipients must be from Forsyth County, demonstrate an interest in the environment and pursue an engineering degree that will give them the opportunity to work to protect the environment.

Baqai, who is the daughter of Tasleem and Maleha Baqai of Kernersville, will graduate this spring from East Forsyth High School in Kernersville, where she is an honors graduate and a member of the National Honor Society. She has been awarded the Outstanding Student of America Award, Student of the Year, Top 20 Academic Students Award, Chemistry Student of the Year, French Student of the Year and Rotary Club Exceptional Student Award. She was selected this year to be on the Superintendent Advisory Council by her school principal.

Angelo scholarships, valued at $10,000, provide full tuition, fees and room and board for one year and are renewable.
