Emily White, a 2019 graduate of Bradley Central High School, has been named recipient of the third annual Ashlyn Taylor Lamberth Memorial Scholarship.
Cathy Barrett, president of the Community Foundation of Cleveland and Bradley County, made the joint announcement with the family of the late Ashlyn Lamberth, and Miss Carol's Playschool.
The scholarship was established in 2015 by Miss Carol's Playschool and is supported by Ashlyn Lamberth's family and friends, Barrett explained.
White, the scholarship recipient, will attend Cleveland State Community College this fall where she plans to study Business Administration.
Recognized for her high academic achievement, she was named class salutatorian. While at Bradley, she was a basketball cheerleader and participated in Beta Club, National Honor Society, Student Council and Bachelorettes.
In the scholarship recipient's recommendation letter, her chemistry teacher described Emily as "very intentional about living a life full of integrity. I truly admire her character, love for others, and her consistency."
Tony Lamberth, Ashlyn's father, reflected on the establishment of the scholarship in his daughter's memory.
"In creating this scholarship, my wife, my son, and hundreds of family members and friends are trying to continue Ashlyn's legacy where she left off," he explained. "During her short time, Ashlyn brightened many lives with her care and concern for others."
He added, "So, we present this scholarship that bears her name, to honor and remember Ashlyn's beautiful spirit and her many accomplishments. In this small way her too-short life can continue to have meaning."
The $1,000 scholarship recognizes a BCHS student and is awarded on the basis of academic performance, community service and financial need.
