Two Students Awarded Operation Roundup Scholarship

In December, the Tri-County EMC Foundation awarded the Operation Roundup Scholarship, worth $1,000, to two service area students. Applicants were considered and selected based upon academics, financial need, and community service. Special consideration is given to non-traditional students who are working full or part-time and have returned to school.

Congratulations to the Fall 2022 Operation Roundup Scholarship recipients.

Celeste Adkins-Chatfield is a non-traditional student from Jones County that will attend Valdosta State University to complete her degree in Organizational Leadership. A mother of three, Celeste has made many contributions in both her home and community. She is an active member at New Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church, and was an Assistant Girl Scout Leader.

He has led several fundraisers for his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Order, and volunteered his time with organizations such as the Tim Tebow Foundation, 4-H, and Children’s Miracle Network.
