ServNet has named eight winners of its 3-year-old scholarship program created for children of employees who study at two- and four-year colleges.

In January, ServNet announced that it expanded its scholarship program to hand out up to 10 awards this year.

"We were pleased to expand the scholarship program this year, adding an additional award for $2,500 for a student attending a four-year college," ServNet president Kevin Brown said in a news release. "We awarded a total of $19,000 this year and are very happy to announce the names of eight ServNet scholarship recipients."

Seven $2,500 awards went to students attending a four-year college or university, and one award of $1,500 went to an applicant who will enroll in a two-year college or vocational-technical school, according to ServNet.

The ServNet scholarship program was established in 2016 for the purpose of supporting company employees and their families pursue higher education.

The scholarship program can assist full-time ServNet auction employees, their children, stepchildren and grandchildren.
