Fifteen Buncombe County Schools students were selected to receive college scholarships this year by The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina (CFWNC). In total, the organization approved $410,250 to students in 19 counties.

“From a large pool of student applications, amazing students were chosen for follow-up virtual interviews and final selection," said scholarship committee member Christena Southwick of the Rotary Club of Asheville, according to the press release. "What a wonderful opportunity CFWNC provides the committees and area youth, sending them off to college and bright futures."

Congratulations to these accomplished students and thank you to those in our community who continually invest in student success.
