Emma Mallory, a former student at Mt. Zion High School, has received a $1,000 scholarship to help cover educational related expenses for the upcoming school year. She will be majoring in business management at Millikin University.
“Winning this scholarship means a lot to me. I know that college can be very expensive, but I have been saving up and working. This scholarship will allow me not to work as much in college to help me pay for it, but also allows me to focus on my studies,” said Emma. “This scholarship has helped ease some of the financial stress. I just wanted to thank all of the donors of this scholarship for the great opportunity.”
