The DTC Communications Board of Directors is proud to announce Morgan Vickers as the recipient of the 2016 DTC Scholarship in Memory of McAllen Foutch. The scholarship program recognizes students who excel in both academics and extracurricular activities.
Vickers, of Liberty, Tennessee, achieved much in her high school career at DeKalb County High School. Vickers ranked among the top 10 outstanding seniors, earned honors and was a member of the Junior and Senior Beta clubs; the National Honor Society; Future Farmers of America; Future Business Leaders of America; and Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America. She is currently enrolled as a full-time student at Motlow State Community College seeking a degree in elementary education. Vickers also sings in the choir at Pisgah Methodist Church, is a substitute Sunday school teacher at Grace Baptist Church, and works as a waitress at Kilgore’s Restaurant, all while maintaining a 4.576 GPA. With all of that activity, it’s no surprise Morgan was voted “Most Involved” by her fellow seniors.
“A quality education lays a solid foundation for a young person’s life,” says DTC CEO Chris Townson. “Morgan exemplifies everything that’s so promising about the youth in Middle Tennessee, and we’re happy that DTC can play a small role in getting her started on the way to success.”
Vickers is the daughter of Joseph and Wanda Vickers, also of Liberty.
DTC’s annual scholarship commemorates the life and achievements of McAllen Foutch, who was instrumental in establishing DTC in 1951. This year also marks the 20th year of the scholarship program for DTC, which is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year.
