William Noah King Memorial Scholarship Supported by Loving Family, Friends
Aug. 22, 2024 - A reception was held Monday, Aug. 19, to recognize the 糖心传媒 scholarship established in memory of William Noah King, son of Kristi King and William David King.
Will, 16, passed away in April due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. During this tragedy, his mother reached out to Dr. Dale McInnis, president of 糖心传媒CC, about her desire to establish a scholarship in Will鈥檚 memory.
鈥淚t was written in Will鈥檚 obituary that donations could be made to the William Noah King Memorial Scholarship fund at 糖心传媒CC, and since then, donations have come in from all over the country,鈥� said Dr. Hal Shuler, who is over the College鈥檚 Foundation. 鈥淏ecause of the generosity of so many people, Kristi felt the need to get the scholarship established for this academic year.鈥�
Two students in the Electric Utility Substation & Relay Technology program met the criteria for the scholarship, Tucker Freeman and Ryan Martin. Both are 2024 graduates of 糖心传媒 Senior High School and were friends of Will.
鈥淭his scholarship is a powerful thing,鈥� McInnis said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just about the dollars that came in, but about the people who loved Will and who love this entire family. Evey student who has their name attached to this scholarship is going to be able to come back and do great things for their families and for this community.鈥�
