The Better Business Bureau of Central and Northwest N.C. has announced that Claire Fields, a senior at Asheboro High School, has won one of the four $2,500 Donna Easter Student Ethics Scholarships.
Fields is headed to N.C. State University and plans to study engineering.
This award was given by the BBB Education Foundation of Central and Northwest N.C.
These scholarships recognize high school students who personify high ethical standards demonstrated through leadership, community service, personal integrity and academic history. This year 187 students applied for the scholarships. The judges were impressed with the thoughtful and well-written essays and overall quality of all the seniors who applied.
The scholarships were named in honor of a BBB colleague and friend who lost her battle with cancer in 2017. Donna Easter joined BBB as a full-time employee two weeks after graduating high school in 1987 and had to leave in 2014 due to her illness.
These scholarships are open to any high school senior attending high school in this BBB’s service area who plans to continue his/her education. The service area includes Alamance, Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Caldwell, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Iredell, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Stokes, Surry, Watauga, Wilkes and Yadkin counties.
