The Scholar Spotlight this week is on Tanner Boeckmann, a junior English education major from Martinsburg, West Virginia. Tanner is the recipient of the Helen Cooke and Charles E. Barrow Scholarship Fund, designated for West Virginia residents majoring in education, and the Holcombe English Scholarship, designated for education majors with a concentration in English.

“My scholarships have given me the ability to further enrich myself in my content area,” Tanner said. “I have been able to use my scholarships to buy the books I need and to avoid using student loans. The scholarships have made it possible for me to continue my college career.”
