Northwest Georgia Credit Union is proud to honor two outstanding high school seniors. Kristen Shiflett of Armuchee High School was chosen as the recipient of the Tom Nunn Memorial Scholarship and Jacey Boyd of Pepperell High School was chosen as the recipient of the Progressive Leader Scholarship.
Michelle Stricklin, President/CEO presents Tom Nunn Memorial Scholarship to Kristen Shiflett.
Kristen is the daughter of Richard and Lisa Shiflett. She involves herself in the community by offering her time to youth summer camps. She also participated in the Atlanta Half Marathon and served as the team leader for the National Honor Society’s October fundraising project. Shiflett is also involved in her school’s varsity tennis and cross country teams. Shiflett will apply her scholarship toward her education at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she plans to study industrial engineering. The Tom Nunn Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of Mr. Tom Nunn, a late Director of Northwest Georgia Credit Union. This scholarship honors a commitment to excellence in academics, service, and community involvement.
Michelle Stricklin, President/CEO presents Progressive Leader scholarship to Jacey Boyd.
Jacey Boyd, the recipient of the Progressive Leader Scholarship, is the daughter of John and Amy Boyd. She attends Pepperell High School and plans to attend the University of West Georgia in the fall to study human resource management and business administration. The Progressive Leadership Scholarship honors a student with leadership skills, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a passion for a cause of their own with the skills to make it happen. Boyd’s cause is organ donation and she is using her skills to meet needs in our community. As an active proponent of organ donation, Boyd worked to bring the non-profit organization, Donate to Life, to Rome. She and the group conducted an awareness campaign at her church and school.
Congratulations and best wishes to both of these exceptional students!
