Niceville Senior Wins Emerald Coast Public Relations Foundation Scholarship
Kennedi Carter, a recent graduate of Niceville High School, was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Emerald Coast Public Relations Foundation (ECPRF) at the Organization’s July luncheon in Fort Walton Beach.
The Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Emerald Coast Public Relations Organization (ECPRO), awards the scholarship annually to a graduating senior in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties who plans to pursue a college degree in public relations, journalism, marketing or communication.
Carter was recognized by the Foundation for her academic credentials, her leadership and volunteer service and her essay on a current issue in public relations, journalism or communication. Graduating Summa Cum Laude from Niceville High School with a 4.61 GPA, Carter was a National Honor Society member during her Junior and Senior years and an AP Scholar with Distinction. She will attend the University of Florida and major in marketing.
Funding for the scholarship was made possible with the support of Eglin Federal Credit Union, the Niceville office of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, and Cherie Anderson of Merrill Lynch.
