Darlington School is pleased to announce that there are 17 merit scholars for the 2006-07 school year. Based on academic achievements, merit scholarships are divided into specific named scholarships.
“We are proud to have these 17 students at Darlington School and feel that they are very deserving of these scholarships,” said Casey Zimmer, director of admission. “Not only does each of these students exhibit outstanding academic ability; they are also very involved on campus and in the community, representing the School in an ideal manner.”
Established in 2000, the Cornwell Scholarship is awarded to the most qualified resident student, male or female, from the state of North Carolina, regardless of need. Cornwell Scholarship recipients include senior Brett Henson of North Wilkesboro and sophomore John Weeks of Durham.
Established by the Grizzard family in honor of Elson S. Floyd (’74), Darlington’s first African-American graduate, the Elson Floyd Scholarship is awarded annually to one or more Darlington students, either male or female, of African-American descent who possess strong character and good citizenship skills. Recipients include seniors Corey Roper of Rome and Daniel Smith of Cedartown, Ga., junior Derricus Ellis of Rome, and eighth-graders Issac Nichols and Nebrisha Askew, both of Rome.
The Goizueta Scholarship, established in 2001, provides need-based assistance annually to Hispanic or Latino students whose family currently resides in the United States. Recipients include junior Justin Smith of Rome and freshman Gabriela Valencia of Denver, Colo.
The J. Ross McCain Honor Scholarship is awarded to male or female resident students from the Southeast, with Christian backgrounds, who display leadership qualities in school and in the community, and who demonstrate outstanding academic achievements and initiative in their lives. McCain Scholarship recipients include senior Ross Langley of Hilton Head, S.C., junior Mac Gilliland of Staunton, Va., and sophomore Katie Flint of Tampa, Fla.
Established in 2000 by the William S. “Billy” Morris III (’52) family, the Morris Scholarship is awarded to five boarding students on the basis of character, strength, leadership potential and academic ability. These awards are renewable, based on student performance. Morris Scholarship recipients include senior Quincy Price of Sharpsburg, Ga., sophomores Korea Black of Lyerly, Ga., Rachel Buckle of Acworth, Ga., and Garrett Brown of Cloudland, Ga., and freshman Victoria Ross of Huntsville, Ala.
