Beene Earns Scholarship

Published Wednesday, May 14, 1997 in the Gurdon Times

Becky Beene, a 1997 graduate of Arkadelphia High School, will receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Shelter Insurance Foundation. The award is sponsored and partially funded by local Shelter agents John and Deborah Tackett.

Beene may apply the award toward tuition, fees, room and board for any course of study beginning the fall after the recipient's high school graduation and leading to an academic degree at any accredited college or university.

Beene was chosen on the basis of scholastic achievements, educational goals, citizenship, moral character, and participation and leadership in school and community activities. The selection was made by a committee of school officials and community leaders.

The $1,000 will be paid directly to the school the winner selects. Beene received a certificate from the Tackett agency on behalf of the Shelter Foundation.

Shelter Insurance Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. The foundation is sponsored by Shelter Insurance, a mutual, multiple-lines firm with 1,200 licensed agents in 13 midwestern and southern states. The company is headquartered in Columbia, Mo.
