Two Area Students Receive Key Scholarship Award

For the eighteenth year, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union and HTC chose two graduating high school seniors to win their annual Key Scholarship.  High school seniors from Horry, Georgetown, Marion, Williamsburg, and the southern part of Florence County planning to attend either Coastal Carolina University or Francis Marion University were encouraged to apply.

The 2024 Key Scholarship award winners are: Academy for Arts, Science and Technology graduates, Drew Bellah, and Chloe Martin.  This fall, both Bellah and Martin plan to attend Coastal Carolina University (CCU).

“This scholarship demonstrates our support of local students and higher education,” said Carlton Lewis, HTC Chief Executive Officer and Carolina Trust Board of Directors Member. “Both HTC and Carolina Trust are dedicated to investing in the communities we serve and this scholarship provides an excellent opportunity to support our youth.”

Due to the commitment of both organization to supporting our local communities and local universities, the amount of the scholarship was increased this year to $5,000.

“We are honored to recognize these talented students. Their academic achievements in the classroom, extra curricular activities, and dedication to community service are truly impressive. We are proud of all the applicants who are planning to continue their education in an effort to achieve personal and professional goals,” said Tim Carlisle, Carolina Trust President/CEO.

Application packets were distributed to high school guidance counselors and the scholarship opportunities were advertised on the Carolina Trust and HTC websites. The 2024 award recipients were scored as most qualified for the Key Scholarship based on completed application, academics, school and/or community involvement, and school choice.
