Gardner, a Hickman County High School graduate, received the scholarship for the second time, and will be returning to UK, as an English major. Roberson, who was home schooled, will return to UK as a junior this Fall. Anyia Jones, a 2018 Fulton High School graduate was also a scholarship recipient but was unable to attend the banquet. Those interested in contributing to the scholarship fund may forward donations to Bob Mahan or Mallory Worley at Heritage Bank of Fulton.
