Scott awarded scholarship by Harold & Muriel Berkman Charitable Foundation

Auburn University at Montgomery/Montgomery, Ala. (Feb. 22, 2018) — John Scott, a junior majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a minor in both marketing and management, was recently named a scholarship recipient by the Harold & Muriel Berkman Charitable Foundation.  Scott is a native of Vicksburg, MS, but moved to Wetumpka in June 2012.

“As a retired military veteran, I dedicated my life to defend the Constitution, and contribute to society,” said Scott. “This scholarship will help me contribute to society, my family, and continue to emulate a positive example for my three boys.”

The foundation received more than 800 applications and awarded scholarships based on two criteria categories. The first category awarded U.S. Veterans with a special emphasis on candidates holding a Combat Infantryman Badge, those receiving a serious would in combat, or those in branches other than the army recognized for combat action. The second category recognized candidates with an enthusiasm for advancing the discipline of marketing through pursuit of a degree in marketing or in business with an emphasis on marketing-related pursuits.
