Tyler McGough, a senior at the Town of Webb School, was recently awarded the Kirsty Sutherland Scholarship for Culinary Arts and Entrepreneurship through the Community Scholarship Fund and the Sutherland family.

The scholarship was created in celebration of the life and life’s work of the late Kirsty Sutherland who exemplified the best of entrepreneurship and devoted her life to the culinary arts.

The scholarship was given to Tyler to encourage him, and other young people, to go forward with their careers and develop that passion into a business.

The scholarship will assist Tyler with his expenses as he enters SUNY Alfred in the fall to study mechanical engineering.
