COLUMBIA, KY. — Three Barren County High School students participated in the recent Lindsey Wilson University John B. Begley Scholars Day.
Barren County High School seniors Hayden Coomer, Adley Cunningham and Cydney Harrison interviewed at the university’s annual scholars day in February.
Coomer, Cunningham and Harrison were among those from four dozen high schools in five states and three countries who competed for three Begley Scholarships that will be awarded to members of the university’s class of 2030.
Created in 1997 to honor John B. Begley, Lindsey Wilson’s sixth president from 1977-97, the Begley Scholarship is one of the more prestigious scholarships in Kentucky higher education. Begley Scholars receive a full-tuition, room-and-board scholarship plus an unparalleled cultural enrichment experience. At least one returning Lindsey Wilson student is also named a Begley Scholar each spring.
