Anujot Kaur,New York.
Adelphi University in New York will be getting one of
Abbeville’s best students when Anujot Kaur enrolls as a freshman there this
fall.
A 2020
graduate of Abbeville Christian Academy, Kaur hopes to stay in New York and
work in a hospital after she completes a nursing degree. For now, she’s happy
to have help paying the cost of her education, thanks to her selection as one
of 40 students awarded a scholarship from the Jimmy Rane Foundation this year.
“This
scholarship is extremely important for me to help relieve the financial burden
for my parents, especially at this time,” Kaur said. “COVID-19 has affected my
parents’ small business and has made it difficult as ever to pay expenses.
Scholarship money can help me further my education in college without
financially constraining my parents.”
Kaur
excelled as a student at ACA and was also active in campus organizations,
including serving as president of the Key Club, secretary of the Student
Government Association, captain of the Academic Team, editor of the Yearbook
Staff, president of the National Beta Club, and as student ambassador for the
Alabama Chamber of Commerce. She was also selected as a delegate for Alabama
Girls State, Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership, and A Girl’s Place. In addition,
she participated in service projects for Safe Haven Animal Rescue and Kennel
and Fostering Hope and served as a volunteer with Flowers Hospital and Henry County
Health and Rehabilitation.
Kaur expressed her gratitude to the Foundation for her
award. “I have been working my whole high school career for this scholarship
and I am so happy that I am a recipient,” she said.
