Randolph Community College Foundation Announces 2018 Presidential Scholars

Five outstanding Randolph County high school students have been chosen in a competitive process as Presidential Scholars at Randolph Community College for the 2018-2019 school year. Madison Nicole Chisholm, Averi Anna Ridge, and Carson Ray Wright, all of Asheboro High School, and Allyson Cole Needham and Brooke Nicole Richardson, both from Southwestern Randolph High School, will receive two-year RCC scholarships through the Presidential Scholars program funded by the Randolph Community College Foundation.

High school students from public, private, and home schools throughout Randolph County were invited to apply for the scholarships. Students who met the preliminary requirements were invited to attend a Presidential Scholars Day at RCC on March 20, where they learned more about the College and were interviewed by a committee of faculty and staff members. Finalists were chosen and invited back for a second interview with RCC President Robert Shackleford Jr., who made the final choice of five recipients.
