The Old Saybrook Garden Club gave its annual scholarship award to Ryan Napier. Napier is a recent graduate of Xavier High School in Middletown and will attend Lyndon State College in Vermont in the fall.

Napier was awarded this scholarship as he plans to pursue a degree in atmospheric science/meteorology. He will be studying weather patterns and climate change and the impact they have on daily life. An avid outdoors person, Napier said that by studying the weather he will have a greater understanding and appreciation for the environment.

Napier, a member of the National Honor Society, Train Club, and Cultural Diversity Club, also has volunteered for the Middlesex Youth ARC, Inc., and the Vermont Association of Snowmobile Trails. Napier started cutting lawns at a young age and at age 16 worked for Fenwick Golf Course in Old Saybrook on weekends and summer vacations.
