Troy University’s Montgomery Metro Alumni Chapter gathered earlier this month to award scholarship to two current TROY students and one incoming student.
The chapter awarded $2,000 scholarships current TROY students Jennifer Serna and Samuel Myers and incoming student Maggie Weatherford, a recent graduate of Pike Road High School.
An annual golf tournament and silent auction are the chapter’s main fundraising effort to fund scholarships.
“Mainly due to our golf tournament each fall and the silent auction we have along with it, we have been able to increase the amount of our scholarships,” said chapter President Bryan Hubbard. “This year we are able to give three scholarships at $2,000 each, and we are very proud of that.”
Myers and Weatherford attended the gathering on May 7 at the Wynlakes home of Alumni Director Faith Byrd where they were recognized and awarded the scholarships.
“I’m just very grateful to receive this scholarship,” said Weatherford, who will be studying nursing at TROY. “I have an older brother who is already in college, I will be starting my college journey in the fall, and I have a younger brother who will be a freshman after me, so I am so grateful to receive this type of support.”
Myers just completed his first year as a TROY student and is pursuing a degree in accounting.
“For me, this scholarship will help me continue to be able to afford everything that I need to do and enjoy all of the experiences that going along with attending TROY,” he said. “It is an honor to receive this scholarship, and it has been a great experience to be here tonight to meet all of these great TROY alumni and make some wonderful connections.”
Serna, a first-generation college student who began her TROY journey as an online student, was also awarded a scholarship but was unable to attend the event.
“Jennifer is a very hard worker and dedicated student, and we are very proud to be able to select her as one of our scholarship recipients,” Hubbard said.
