Christopher Smith of Hot Springs has been awarded the Leave a Legacy Scholarship.
Smith is a 2012 graduate of Cutter Morning Star High School. He is married to Katherine Smith, and is seeking a degree in nursing.
The Leave a Legacy Scholarship was founded by the May 2015 Practical Nursing class, who had a goal to leave a legacy for future nursing students at BRTC. They saw the financial hardships nursing students face during the last semester of the nursing program due to licensure fees, and decided to form the scholarship to help offset the cost of the fees. Each graduating class has continued the legacy through fundraising activities and continued donations to the scholarship.
Congratulations, Christopher!
