The Florence Rotary Club awarded two scholarships in a special program yesterday at the Hilton in Florence. Emily Adkins, a 2013 graduate of Conner High School received a $2,000 scholarship from the club.
Emily is very active in the community, her church and in her time at Conner High School. She was accepted into the AeroScholars Aviation High Schools Course, a pilot program in 12 KY high schools that prepares students for the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam.
Emily plans to attend the University of Louisville this fall.

Florence Rotary also awarded a $500 scholarship to Spencer Holland, an incoming
senior at Cooper High School for his video essay submission about the Northern KY Youth Council.

The Youth Council is an advisory group to the Northern KY Youth Foundation (NKYF) Board of Directors. The council is open to middle and high school students, including public, private, and homeschooled students, who apply and are selected. The Council also coordinates youth activities in the community and provides insight into programs currently being offered by the NKYF.
