YLD Scholarships Awarded For 2010-11 Academic Year

Article Date: Friday, August 27, 2010

Written By: Russell Rawlings

The death or disability of a loved one leaves an indelible mark on a family, especially when someone is slain or permanently injured while serving as a law enforcement officer. There are also financial burdens to consider as families often struggle to make ends meet, much less pay for college.

 In response to these needs, the Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar Association annually awards scholarships to students from families of N.C. law enforcement officers who have died or been permanently disabled in the line of duty.

 Funding is provided through the NCBA Foundation Endowment, including an annual contribution from the Hubert Humphrey Justice Fund.

 For the 2010-11 academic year, scholarships totaling $27,500 have been awarded to 10 students from across the state, as denoted below.

 Brittany Renae Cullifer of West End, a junior at Appalachian State University, will receive a $3,500 scholarship.

 Ashley Nicole Davis of McLeansville, a senior at North Carolina State University, will receive a $4,000 scholarship.

 Sara Addison Fuller of Harmony, a senior at Appalachian State University, will receive a $4,500 scholarship.

 Jessica Anne Hale of Raleigh, a junior at North Carolina State University, will receive a $3,000 scholarship. Her sister, Stephanie Lynn Hale, will receive a $3,000 scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where she is a junior.

 Thomas Christopher Hall of Andrews, a senior at Western Carolina University, will receive a $2,500 scholarship.

 Elizabeth Claire Hillard of Salisbury, a senior at Catawba College, received a $1,000 scholarship for summer school.

 Lane Means of Concord, a junior at St. Augustine's College, will receive a $2,000 scholarship.

 Nathalie DonNora Means, a graduate student at the University of Missouri-St. Louis whose parents reside in Concord, will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

 Brittainey Jane Moore of Belmont, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, will receive a $3,000 scholarship.

 North Carolina lawyers, through the NCBA Foundation Endowment program, have distributed nearly half a million dollars in scholarship funds since 1989.           

 Recipients must make initial application prior to their 27th birthday and be enrolled or accepted at an approved institute of higher education or vocational school. Renewal applicants must demonstrate satisfactory academic performance in the preceding semester.
