Two Russell County students are competing for the Begley Scholar program at Lindsey Wilson College.
Gage Carnes and Makayla Melson are among 40 high school seniors from various parts of Kentucky, Tennessee and Nevada that came to LWC’s A.P. White Campus Saturday for the annual Scholars Day.
The Begley Scholars program, named after LWC’s 6th President John B. Begley, was launched in 1997 and is to this day the most prestigious scholarship awarded by the college. The three incoming freshmen that receive the scholarship are granted full tuition, room and board for their four years at Lindsey Wilson College.
