Laura Hamilton, Program Officer of the Ripley County Community Foundation, states, “The value that scholarships provide our county’s youth go beyond measures. For some students, it is the difference between attending the college of their dreams and/or the affordability of post-secondary education. Our scholarships present opportunities to our students to become the next great leaders of Ripley County.”
