Kaynor Junior Honored by Baypath University

Congratulations to Kaynor Tech junior Joenlis Vale-Moran on receiving Bay Path University’s Presidential Book Award.

As a recipient of this prestigious award, Joenlis is eligible to receive a renewable four-year merit scholarship worth up to $19,000 per year should she choose to attend Bay Path University.
