April 30, 2015–Hamilton Relay, Captioned Telephone Service provider for the Commonwealth of Virginia, has awarded a $500 college scholarship to Connor Christian, a student of Buckingham County High School from Arvonia, Virginia.
The Hamilton Relay Scholarship opportunity is available to high school seniors who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind or have difficulty speaking. A recipient is selected within each of the states where Hamilton is the contracted service provider and is one of several ways the company gives back to the communities it serves.
“Hamilton takes pride in recognizing outstanding leadership and promoting education,” said Stephanie Ulmer, Virginia Captioned Telephone Outreach Coordinator. “We are excited to have the opportunity to contribute to furthering Connor's education and wish him success in reaching his personal and professional goals.”
Connor was awarded the $500 Hamilton Relay Scholarship after completing the application process, including writing an essay under the topic of communication technology. Connor plans to attend college this fall to study kinesiology.
