Sharp, Munoz receive Rotary scholarships

PRESCOTT – Tuesday’s Rotary Club meeting was a boon for Jade Sharp and Mary Munoz as the two were presented with scholarship money from the club.

Each young lady received a check for $1,250 for their future education. Both plan to attend Southern Arkansas University this fall. Munoz said she plans on studying cosmetology, getting her license and coming back to Prescott. Either that or selling insurance.

Sharp’s plans are to get a Bachelor of Science in nursing and return to Prescott to work.

The club members are currently selling raffle 200 tickets at $20 each with the winner pocketing a cool $1,000 in cash. The rest of the money will go into the club’s scholarship fund. President Bo Young said the club would like to do another raffle like this in December and be able to give four $1,500 scholarships next year.
