The Sanilac County Community Foundation is pleased to announce Victoria Shea and Gabriella Beatty as the 2026 recipients of the Douglas and Rose Banker Scholarship.

Victoria Shea is the daughter of Del and Lacey Shea. During high school, she participated in track, bowling, Health Occupations, National Honor Society, and Key Club. Victoria is attending Saginaw Valley State University where she plans to major in nursing.

Gabriella Beatty is the daughter of Kevin and Ashley Beatty. During high school, she was a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council, and the math academic team. She also participated in cross country, bowling, dance, drama, and band. Gabriella is attending Central Michigan University studying public health on a pre- professional route to become a physician’s assistant.

The Douglas and Rose Banker scholarship was established by the Bankers in support of a Sandusky High School Graduate pursuing post-secondary education.
