Morro Bay High School senior, Sue-Lyn Dorrough was awarded a $500 scholarship on June 14 by Morro Photo Expo. Sue-Lyn, a Los Osos resident, will use the scholarship to further her studies in photography and graphic design at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois.
This is a newly created scholarship from Morro Photo Expo. A Morro Bay High School student is chosen based upon submission of the student's portfolio and written essay. Sue-Lyn, in her essay stated, "My photographic style emphasizes that I am willing to try new things, whether it's changing the perspective or where I need to stand to ensure I get a fantastic shot that I am satisfied with."

The Expo provides photographers of all skill levels the opportunity to improve their technical and creative artistry in an encouraging, friendly, and social environment.
