2023 BRIGE Scholarship awarded to Jashlyn Allen

The Ball-Watson Community Engagement Foundation awarded a college scholarship in the amount of $2,000, along with a MacBook Air, at the annual Jenkins County High School Honors & Awards Ceremony on May 6, 2023.

Jashlyn Allen, a senior at Jenkins County High, is the third recipient of the Bridge Scholarship. Moore, who received a number of awards and scholastic recognition throughout the night, will attend Georgia Southern University in the fall. 

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.
