Frison receives 2020 BRIDGE Scholarship

The Ball-Watson Community Engagement Foundation awarded a college scholarship in the amount of $2,000, along with a MacBook Air, to ReShandria Frison. A senior at Jenkins County High, Frison is the fourth recipient of the Bridge Scholarship. She will attend Valdosta State University in the fall. The 2020 Honors program was held virtually because of Covid-19.

The BWCEF Bridge Scholarship was established by Millen, Georgia natives, Charles Watson, Jr. and Mario Ball, based upon their conviction that when individuals from smaller communities and lower income families are given the tools to succeed, they excel.

“This Foundation sees higher education as a force of positive change; a force that certainly changes the community, and engages everyone in support of this initiative.” said Ball, one the scholarship’s founders.
