ASUMH awards South Shore Endowed Scholarship

Justin Keller was recently named one of four Arkansas State University Mountain Home students to receive the 2006 South Shore Foundation ASUMH Endowed Scholarship. Recipients are chosen by the ASU Mountain Home Scholarship Committee. The financial assistance is funded by an endowment to the ASU Foundation from South Shore Foundation, the charitable arm of NATCO at Flippin.

Keller moved up from first alternate for the scholarship to a recipient when another recipient’s plans to attend ASUMH changed. Each student receiving this scholarship is studying math, science, technology, or preparing to teach math, science or technology.

Keller, a 2006 graduate of Mountain Home High School, is working toward an associate of arts degree at ASUMH and plans to continue his education for a career in engineering. He joins other 2006 recipients with career plans as follows: Janet Atkinson, nuclear science; Amy McLean, information systems; Sally Stone, early childhood education.

South Shore Foundation specifies that recipients reside in Baxter, Marion, or Boone County. The scholarship currently pays $635 per semester and may be renewed up to a maximum of four semesters or until completion of the associate degree, provided the applicant maintains a 3.0 grade point average.

Applications for a South Shore Foundation Endowed Scholarship are available annually from the Arkansas State University Mountain Home Financial Aid Office, 870-508-6127, and are due each year by April 15.
