For 10 years, the Caruso Family Foundation has been awarding $20,000 in scholarship funds to local, high school students. This year, Spirit of American youth scholarships went to Hailey Sole from Maranatha High School and Madeleine Ackley, formerly of Notre Dame High School.

Both are Glendale residents, and each will receive a $10,000 scholarship. After lunch with the students and their parents at Trattoria Amici in the Americana at Brand on Sept. 16, Americana developer Rick Caruso and Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian awarded the scholarships during a brief ceremony.
