LHS cheerleader receives scholarship
Published August 2, 2009
LOGANVILLE — Loganville High School competitive cheerleader Ansley Edenfield has received a $1,000 scholarship from Kohl’s Department Stores, recognizing her community service.
Edenfield, 17, raised $13,000 for breast cancer research to join nearly 200 teenagers from around the nation to be so honored as Kohl’s Kids Who Care. The scholarship money will be used toward post-secondary education. More than 18,000 high school students were nominated.
“These young volunteers truly stand out and deserve to be recognized for making their communities a better place and exemplifying the spirit of volunteerism,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “The Kohl’s Kids Who Care Scholarship Program gives us the privilege to reward these great kids with scholarships and also to help ease the cost of post-secondary education.”
Winners were selected based on initiative, leadership, creativity and generosity. Regional winners now qualify for one of 10 national scholarships worth $5,000. Kohl’s will also contribute $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on behalf of each national winner.
Kohl’s plans to award more than $350,000 in scholarships and prizes this summer. Since 2001, more than $1.8 million in scholarships and prizes has been awarded to 9,000 students.
