Ella Tucker, a senior at Central Davidson High School, has won one of the four $2,500 Donna Easter Student Ethics Scholarships given by the BBB Education Foundation of Central and Northwest NC.
Tucker is headed to North Carolina Wesleyan University to study exercise science.
In total, the Education Foundation awarded $10,000 in scholarships this year. The Donna Easter Student Ethics Scholarships recognize high school students in the area who personify high ethical standards demonstrated through leadership, community service, personal integrity and academic history. This year, 187 students applied for the scholarships. 
The scholarships were named the Donna Easter Student Ethics Scholarships in honor of BBB colleague and friend who lost her battle with cancer in 2017. Easter joined the BBB as a full-time employee two weeks after graduating high school in 1987 and had to leave BBB in 2014 due to her illness. 
These scholarships are open to any high school senior attending high school in the BBB of Central and Northwest NC service area who plans to continue his/her education. The service area covers Alamance, Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Caldwell, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Iredell, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Stokes, Surry, Watauga, Wilkes and Yadkin counties.
