Local Students from Delaware Academy and South Kortright Central School Districts Awarded Delhi Telephone Company Scholarships

Lindsey Wright of Delaware Academy and Jillian Hungerford of South Kortright Central school districts were presented with scholarships from Delhi Telephone Company for the upcoming school year. Both Lindsey and Jillian are continuing their education this fall; Lindsey of Delaware Academy will be attending Muskingum University, Ohio and Jillian Hungerford of South Kortright Central will be attending SUNY Cobleskill. 

The applicants underwent a selection process by submitting a short essay or creating a video that describes how DTC’s technology helped them during the COVID-19 pandemic. This scholarship was established to recognize a graduating senior who is continuing his/her education and who demonstrates pride in their community. 

DTC awards scholarships to neighboring school districts each year. The funds are raised at our annual Open House event held in August of each year. The event features a basket raffle to raise the majority of the funds, with items donated by local businesses as well as DTC’s vendors and network affiliates. Although 2021 has had its challenges, DTC was still able to award scholarships to these deserving students. DTC will continue to extend the scholarship program to other school districts as they continue to expand their service area.
