Jacob Edwards awarded Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Adair County High School graduate is one of only 84 seniors in Kentucky to receive a Byrd Scholarship. Columbia pre-medical student will major in biochemistry, molecular biology, and French at prestigious Centre College of Kentucky in Danville By Tim Ballard Jacob Edwards has been awarded a Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship to help pay for his college education. This scholarship award is $1,500 a year. Edwards, a 2007 graduate of Adair County High School, will attend Centre College to study biochemistry, molecular biology and French. The Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship is one of my greatest achievements that will continue to serve me as I pursue my career in medicine, he said. While at Adair County High, Edwards was a member of the academic team, Beta Club, National Honor Society, FBLA, PRIDE, LEAD Adair County and Renaissance Columbia. He is one of only 84 seniors in the state this year to receive a Byrd Scholarship, a federally funded program administered by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). KHEAA also administers other student aid programs, including the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship, where students earn money for college by making good grades in high school. Edwards is the son of David and Carolyn Edwards of Columbia. He is the grandson of Margie Edwards and the late Jake Edwards of Columbia and Pete and Delsie Jessee of Edmonton. The Byrd Scholarship is named for longtime U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, who authored the legislation establishing the program in 1985. Kentucky receives enough funding to award scholarships to 84 high school seniors each year, with 14 chosen from each of the states six congressional districts. Recipients are chosen by an independent panel, based on academic achievement, community service, school involvement and counselor recommendation. KHEAA and its sister agency, The Student Loan People, administer scholarship, grant, low-cost loan, savings and work-study programs to help Kentuckians pay for college. They also provide free college planning and financial aid information to students, parents and counselors. To learn how to plan and prepare for higher education, visit www.GoHigherKY.org.
