Shelby Winchester, a senior at Maple Grove Junior-Senior High School, is the recipient of a $500 scholarship from NAA, a seller of mortgage protection insurance in the United States.
Selected for her community service and grade-point average, Winchester will attend Alfred University in the fall, where she plans to major in athletic training. She is the daughter of William and Irene Winchester. She learned about the scholarship program through the Web site of Chris Bente, NAA national manager, at www.usmortgageprotection.net.
‘‘I enjoy athletics and will play on Alfred’s women’s soccer team,’’ Ms. Winchester said. ‘‘After graduation I would like to get a master’s degree in physical therapy, and I hope to help children and give them the chance that others have given to me.’’
Ms. Winchester volunteers with her church youth group at Bemus Point United Methodist Church as well as at two local nursing homes, Heritage Green in Pinehurst and Heritage Village in Gerry.
‘‘Shelby exemplifies the leadership qualities that we look for in our scholarship program, and we are pleased to play a part in her education,’’ said Andy Albright, NAA president and chief executive officer.
Each month NAA selects deserving high school seniors across the United States who are college-bound or enrolled in an institution of higher learning. The scholarship fund may be applied toward books or tuition./post-journal
