Yorba Linda Eagle Scout Gets $3,000 Scholarship

David G. Alleman of Yorba Linda was one of three Eagle Scouts from across the country to be awarded a $3,000 scholarship by an endowment from former Texas Gov. William P. Clements.

Alleman, 18, an Esperanza High School graduate who received his Eagle rank in June, 1990, plans to attend Brigham Young University and major in physical therapy.
