Winners of two library academic scholarships will be announced April 17 at the Selma Dallas County Public Library.
Two scholarships are available, the Edwin and Virginia Godbold Scholarship and the Will Goodwyn Scholarship.
The Edwin and Virginia Godbold Scholarship was established to support and encourage higher education for Selma and Dallas County students in public schools. Edwin Godbold was a firm believer in the value of public education, and in 1995 his family participated in the building of the “new library” addition.
The commitment of the Godbold family has been consistent through the years and makes possible the awarding of the annual scholarship.
Participating also in the giving of funds for higher learning is The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation. In honor of Selmian and retired Coke executive Will Goodwyn, a $2,500 scholarship is given to a graduating Selma High senior. Goodwyn attended Selma High School and loves his hometown.
Both application processes are managed through the Selma Dallas County Public Library Foundation.
The Godbold and Goodwyn selection process has concluded for 2025.
