Beaty honored with MTSU scholarship
|
The 10 students, who were nominated by their schools and school systems, have recovered from tough times. In spite of their situations, they have performed well in the classroom and on their college entrance tests, and exhibited leadership skills in and out of school. Some have worked to financially assist themselves and family members.
Locally, Warren County High School senior Chelsea Beaty was honored.
Scholarships provided through the Neill-Sandler Foundation and The Danner Company, a Nashville-based business led by chairman Ray Danner, were awarded to deserving students from the following county school systems: Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, DeKalb, Franklin, Rutherford, Warren, Williamson and Wilson counties, and Tullahoma City Schools.
In addition to Beaty, this year?s honorees were:
Wartrace resident Danee Crosslin of Cascade High School; Bradyville resident Michelle Pruett of Cannon County High School; Jamey Hurst of Coffee County Central High School Dowelltown resident Bethany Davis of DeKalb County High School; Jeff Sanders of Huntland High School; Elizabeth D. Allen, a Murfreesboro resident, of LaVergne High School; Franklin resident Kasey Stannard of Page High School; Wesley Frazier of Watertown High School; and Stephanie McGowen of Tullahoma High School.
?This fall, MTSU will welcome 10 additional Neill-Sandler Scholars to campus,? said Kippy Todd, assistant director for annual giving in the Office of Development. ?These students have weathered many losses and hardships with great courage and determination. We look forward to celebrating their accomplishments.?
Todd acknowledged the assistance and effort by businessmen Gary Neill of Knoxville and Mike Sandler of Murfreesboro in maintaining the scholarship program.
