Posted by LoudounNow

Aldie teen Kenneth Calhoun was awarded a $10,000 scholarship from Lighthouse Guild in New York City to attend William and Mary University this fall. 

Calhoun was one of 15 legally blind recipients across the country who are entering college or attending graduate school in the fall to receive the scholarship. 

“This scholarship would allow me to learn as much as possible without worrying about costs and limitations. However, what is most important to me is answering the question: How can I give back to all the communities that served and helped me grow? Exploration and further understanding of the world will enhance current and future societies,” Calhoun said. “I want to participate in that movement and contribute as much as possible.”
