With over 40 applicants from Richmond and Moore county, we could not have done it without the incredible partnership of the scholarship directors at all 4 high schools. In addition, it would not have been possible without the generous and thoughtful donations from our supporters, as well as those that shared our mission with their communities. Because of this support, the Foundation surpassed our initial goals and were able to award 5 total scholarships.

With that, we are pleased to introduce our 2024 Craven Apiary scholarship cohort and learn a little more about them.

    “Winning the Craven Apiary Scholarship of course has lifted some of the financial burden that comes from going to college, but also it showed me that you should never, NEVER dismiss an opportunity because of the fear of failure or fear of your opponents.  You never know who will see your worth.”

    “Fire burns brighter in the dark. And because of that, I am flaming. A beautiful, flickering, ever-growing flame, composed of the arts. Several pages long, I am chock-full of words, music, and colors bursting at the edges...quite lucky to be able to burn that way.”
