11 Continue in Colleges with South Shore Grants
October 2007

Five years ago, the South Shore Foundation offered its Academic Scholarship recipients a chance to renew the scholarship grants each year for four years if the students would meet certain requirements. Today, 11 of the students who received South Shore Foundation Academic Scholarships since 2002 continue meeting the requirements and earning $1,000 per year.

South Shore Foundation is the charitable division of NATCO Communications.

Students must be enrolled in an Arkansas college or university, registered for at least 12 credit hours of academic courses, and must earn a “B” average to renew the scholarship each year.

The students who continue to meet the requirements and earn renewal of their scholarships are as follows:

• University of Arkansas – Isaac Seth Goodwin, Yellville-Summit, fourth year; Lynlee Davis, Flippin, third year; Ben Thompson, Lead Hill,  second year;
• Arkansas Tech University – Kristin Blevins, Omaha, fourth year; Mary Milligan Buchman, Lead Hill, fourth year; Jessica Gass, Bruno-Pyatt, third year;
• University of Central Arkansas – Allissa Curtis, Flippin, third year;
• Hendrix College – Trenton Elliott, Bruno-Pyatt, third year;
• North Arkansas College – Keisha Crow, Bergman, second year; Holly Henley, Bruno-Pyatt, second year;
• Arkansas State University – Beebe – Mallory Rorie, Flippin, second year.

South Shore Foundation awards $1,000 scholarships each year to six graduates of the six schools in the South Shore area of Marion and Boone Counties. Beginning with the $1,000 scholarships recently awarded for the 2007-08 academic year, the scholarships will no longer be renewable.
