Frank James-SkyLine Scholarship Program - 2010 Winners
2010 Winners Return to Frank James-SkyLine Scholarship Program

Ten area high school seniors have been named recipients of the 2010 Frank James–SkyLine Scholarship. The scholarships honor the memory of longtime director and former SkyLine President Frank James and are awarded to children of SkyLine members who reside in our five-county service area. The awards were announced at area high schools’ Awards Day programs, and will be officially presented to the students at SkyLine’s Annual Meeting in early October.

Annually, SkyLine awards $1,000 scholarships, renewable for up to four years, to students pursuing a four-year college degree and $500 scholarships, renewable for up to two years, to students pursuing a community/technical college degree or vocational program.

Foundation for Rural Service Scholarship
This scholarship is offered through the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), the advocacy organization of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA), of which SkyLine is a member . Nationally, 30 one-time $2,500 scholarships are awarded to rural high school seniors from 14 regions across the U.S. SkyLine, as the local sponsor , provides $500 of the $2,500 award if a student is chosen from areas served by SkyLine and SkyBest. The program gives particular emphasis to those students who plan to return to their community following college.

We are pleased to announce one local winner of the FRS Scholarship in 2010:
Anderson Profitt of Watauga County.
