Eight seniors at Alleghany High School, Bath County High School and Covington High School will receive a total of $272,000 in scholarships from The Glencairn Foundation, which was formed in 2009 from funds received from the estate of an anonymous donor. The scholarships are for $8,500 per year for four years, a total of $34,000 for each recipient. Scholarships totaling over $3,131,000 have been awarded from 2010 through 2021, the years the Foundation has made grants.
The scholarships were announced recently by Clifton Forge attorneys James D. Snyder and R. Meade Snyder, Trustees of The Glencairn Foundation.
Recipients of the scholarships and the schools they will attend this fall are: Alleghany High School: Savannah Leigh Angle (James Madison University), Gracie Alexis Conner (Eastern Mennonite University), Darcy Makenna Ross (University of Lynchburg) and Bailey Grace Spencer (James Madison University).
Bath County High School: Kalyn Brooke Harmon (West Virginia University) and Elijah Kester Phillips (Virginia Military Institute).
Covington High School: Savanna Nicole Craft (Virginia Tech) and Josie Elaine Fertig (James Madison University).
The scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of merit in academic achievement, citizenship, leadership, extra curricular activities and community involvement. Recipients must major in one of the following areas of study in college: art, dance, drama, English, history, journalism, languages, music, philosophy, political science, psychology or sociology at a non-profit, accredited, four-year college or university.
Jim Snyder said scholarships from The Glencairn Foundation will be awarded annually to qualifying students from Alleghany High School, Bath County High School, Covington High School and Boys’ Home. The recipients are selected by scholarship committees at each school and by the Trustees.
