Fourth-grader receives scholarship to Appalachian State

Latifah Syeh, a fourth-grader at Grantham School, became the 14th minority student in Wayne County to be awarded a $20,000 scholarship to attend Appalachian State University upon graduation from high school.

Ceremonies were held at the school on Thursday announcing the honor, established by an anonymous donor in 1993 to help promote cultural diversity at the college while also benefiting Wayne and Craven county students.

The winner is chosen each year based on performance on achievement tests taken at the end of third grade. Recipients must meet Appalachians admissions requirements and major in either math or science.
