Staff Report From Albany CEO

Wednesday, April 20th, 2016

Kendyll Freeman and Jackson Eubanks, current juniors at Deerfield-Windsor School have been named Cannon Scholars for their senior year.

The Cannon Family Scholarships are named in honor of Chris Cannon and his family in recognition of their generous support for Deerfield-Windsor School for many years.

Freeman is the daughter of Greg and Sue Freeman.  She is captain of the varsity soccer team, vice-president of the junior class, and a member of the math team and Beta Club.

Eubanks is the son of Scott Eubanks and Marti Yelverton.  A member of the cross country team, he is on stage crew for the musical and is a member of the Beta Club and Key Club.

Cannon Scholarships are based primarily on academics. Extracurricular activities are considered in the selection process but are not the primary criterion.  Students enter by completing an application and by writing an essay in a supervised setting.  The DWS Board of Trustees’ Scholarship Committee decides the winners of the awards.

Students who have attended Deerfield-Windsor for at least one year are eligible to apply for this half-tuition scholarship. Two non-renewable Cannon Family Scholarships are awarded each school year.
