COLUMBUS, Miss. - April 2, 2018 - PRLog -- Russell Orthodontics has awarded one student in Lowndes, Lee and Monroe County with a $500 college textbook scholarship through the practice's annual Smiling Senior Scholarship contest. The contest was open to all high school seniors in the community regardless of whether they are patients of the practice or not.  The students were asked to submit a two-page questionnaire on their school life, volunteer efforts and why they feel they deserve the scholarship.

The 2018 Smiling Senior Scholarship winners are:

·         Daniel Jackson Bradley- New Hope High School, Lowndes County

·         Erian Watkins- Tupelo High School, Lee County

·         Aynslee Claire Willis- Amory High School, Monroe County

"We were very excited to review the many entries submitted by high school students across Lowndes, Lee and Monroe County. It was such a joy to see so many students involved in their schools and communities with such bright futures ahead of them," Said Dr. John Russell. "I have really enjoyed giving back to our students through this scholarship. It's such a great way to inspire and encourage our students to pursue their dreams by helping fund some of their educational needs."

Russell Orthodontics has three locations in Amory, Columbus and Tupelo, Mississippi.  A total of three students from each county were chosen and awarded $500 each to put toward their college textbook expenses. Russell Orthodontics expects that winning this scholarship contest will help students feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.
