FRANKFORT, KY - Cameron Campbell has been awarded a Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship to help pay for his college education. This scholarship award is $1,500 a year.



Campbell, a 2009 graduate of Adair County High School, will attend Campbellsville University.

"This generous scholarship continues to help students across the state breathe a little easier when they go to college by giving much needed financial assistance," he said.

While at Adair County, Campbell was a member of the National Honor Society, Beta Club, Science Club and future problem solving team.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.

Campbell is the son of John and Shirley Campbell of Columbia. He is the grandson of Rudy and Mary Enna Campbell and Grace Piercy, all of Columbia.

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 state's 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.
