Two rising juniors from Polk County and Landrum High Schools will attend the Clemson University Summer Scholars Program this year through scholarships awarded by the Tryon Area Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW.)

Alicia Brewington, a Polk County High School student, and Ann Marie Doar, a Landrum High School student, received this year’s scholarships to attend the summer program. These students were recognized by their teachers and administration for excellent academic performance, primarily in math and science.

 

For more than 20 years, the Tryon area branch of AAUW has provided full scholarships to deserving young women from both Landrum and Polk County schools for one week at Clemson University’s Summer Scholars Program. In addition to challenging courses, these scholarships provide opportunities for hands-on learning and early exposure to the college experience.
