2011 Scholarships Awarded
ARWA Provides Educational Assistance…
As the month of May each year brings another school year to a close, it is also a time to offer assistance to many young graduates who are interested in continuing their goals to include a higher educational degree.
The ARWA has for many years supported an Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser in support of the John A. Garrett Scholarship Fund. The 2011 Fundraiser which was organized by the Association Golf Tournament Steering Committee consisting of Jeff Harrison (Southeastern Tank, Inc.), Kevin Smith (Neptune Technology Group, Inc.), Ronnie Steadham (Mueller Company), Mark Harris (Consolidated Pipe & Supply, Inc.), John Skipper (DPC Enterprises, L. P.), and Mike Shaw (TTL, Inc.) provided the monetary support to offer two $750 scholarships to deserving applicants in each of the State's three regions. This Fundraiser was also supported by the Scholarship Fund Board Members, Charles Lay, Shelby County Water & Sewer Service; Greg Dutton, Moulton Water Works Board and Randolph Hall, South Bullock County Water Authority.
Applicants are judged on scholastic and leadership abilities as well as their community involvement. For 2011, 41 application packages were received as the winners were selected. Chosen to receive the ARWA educational scholarships for the Fall 2011 enrollment were:
