Nine Mount Airy High School 2020 graduates were among 60 area students who recently were awarded Edward M. Armfield Sr. Foundation scholarships.
The foundation annually awards the scholarships to students graduating from each of the high schools in Surry County, along with Surry Community College students.
May graduates who plan to enter an accredited educational institution in the fall as a full-time student are eligible to apply. Scholarship awards vary, and are renewable for up to three years, provided the student maintains a 3.0 GPA in college.
This year’s recipients from Mount Airy High School are Alyssa Collins, Margaret Glenn, Elizabeth Heck, Brooksie Lawson, Kathlyn Mauck, Haley Moser, Kamya Rose, Anna Kate Tucker and Baelin Watson.
The eight graduating seniors join 54 other area students who won the scholarships this year.
Among those were 40 students from Surry County Schools representing North Surry, East Surry, Surry Central and Surry Early College School of Design, along with several Surry Community College students who are transferring to a four-year institute in the fall.
