<strong>State</strong> extended service area. To be eligible for the $1000 annual scholarship, the recipient<br />
must be recommended by the high school guidance counselor, be a first-time college<br />
student and must enroll full-time at <strong>Roane</strong> <strong>State</strong>. The scholarship must be used starting<br />
the fall semester following graduation from high school. The award is renewable for a<br />
