Lauryn Taylor

Lauryn Taylor stood out this year, receiving not only an NCEF Scholarship, but also scholarships from the Stephen K. Fox Memorial and the Northampton County High School Alumni Association funds. Lauryn will attend Hampton University in the fall and plans to study child psychology.

"I feel so lucky to have been awarded multiple scholarships under The Northampton County Education Foundation's scholarship programs. I have worked so hard across the last 3 years, saving money for college. Being awarded these scholarships will help reduce the financial burdens of college and will help me reach my dreams of attaining a 4 year college degree. I am so thankful for the generosity from our Eastern Shore community!"
