Hamilton Relay, Telecommunications Relay and Captioned Telephone Service provider for the state of Maryland, has awarded a $500 college scholarship to Thomas Andrews, a student of Easton High School from Easton, Maryland.
The Hamilton Relay Scholarship opportunity is available to high school seniors who are deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind or have difficulty speaking.

Thomas was awarded the $500 Hamilton Relay Scholarship after completing the application process, including writing an essay under the topic of communication technology. Thomas plans to attend Rochester Institute of Technology, National Technical Institute for the Deaf this fall to study mechanical engineering.
