South River EMC helped four students in their college endeavors this year.

Recently, four students were selected to receive a $1,000 South River EMC scholarship.

After reviewing the applications, a committee awarded scholarships to the following students who live in the South River EMC service area:

Gracyn Baggett, granddaughter of Billy and Loretta Baggett of Roseboro, who will graduate from Midway High, with plans to attend UNC- Wilmington for a degree in social work.

Jenna McLamb, daughter of Derek and Misty McLamb of Roseboro, who will graduate from Midway High, with plans to attend Campbell University for a degree in elementary education.

Hunter Pope, son of Toby and Amy Pope of Dunn, who will graduate from Triton High with plans to attend Campbell University for a degree in Biology, pre-med.

Factors considered in the selection process include: character, moral standards, citizenship, past and present academic performance, letters of recommendation, statements of career goals and qualifications; and extracurricular activities. This scholarship opportunity showcases many wonderful attributes in our students. Congratulations!
