Funds Available:
The Noel Lee, Jr. Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually. The scholarship check is sent directly to the
learning institution and may be used for tuition, books and laboratory fees. In the event that the recipient
leaves the institution for any reason and funds of the scholarship remain, the institution is to return the
balance to EdgecombeMartin
County EMC. Should the recipient leave an institution to continue
education in another institution, any balance of the scholarship will be available for the institution of his/her
choice, subject to the same terms and condition of the original scholarship. The recipient may accept other
scholarships, but in the event the recipient receives financial assistance from other sources, which would
constitute a full scholarship, he/she shall notify EdgecombeMartin
County EMC and relinquish the rights
to the Noel Lee, Jr. Memorial Scholarship. The monies shall then be awarded to the runnerup,
provided
that person continues to meet requirements.
