BETTENDORF – The Downtown Bettendorf Business Women (DBBW) organization has awarded its 2023 Debe Lamar scholarships to Class of 2023 graduates Prashna Dahal of Pleasant Valley High School, and Kaia Young of Bettendorf High School.
The $500 awards are named after the late Bettendorf Alderman Debe LaMar, who passed away in 2018. LaMar exemplified the highest ideals of public service and encouraged women everywhere to dream big.
Prashna plans to continue her education at the University of Iowa. Kaia will be attending Scott Community College with plans to transfer to the University of Iowa.
The DBBW was founded in 2018 to promote downtown businesses with women in leadership roles. Funds for the scholarship come from an annual sale of Christmas ornaments that feature a scene from downtown Bettendorf.
