Lindsey Smith Receives Great Honors

Monday, March 27th 2006 - Albemarle, NC - Uwharrie Capital Corp's very own Lindsey Smith received a prestigious honor Monday and was a recipient of the Teaching Fellows Scholarship. Out of 1,900 applicants the award was given to only 500 high school seniors in the State of North Carolina.

In addition to the Teaching Fellows Scholarship, Lindsey was also named the district winner in the NC Federation of Women’s Clubs Sallie Southall Cotton Scholarship competition. Early in February, Lindsey interviewed with the Stanly County Chapter of the Junior Women’s Club and was named the county recipient. She then went on to the state competition and placed 4th out of 9 contestants.

Lindsey has worked within the Uwharrie Capital Corp family on a part-time basis for two years. She is a senior at Albemarle High School and will attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the Fall of 2006. Her lifelong dream has been to become an elementary school teacher. With these honors, she is one step closer to fulfilling that dream.

During her Albemarle High School career, Lindsey has maintained over a 4.0 GPA including high honor roll, and nearly perfect attendance. She is a member of the National Honor Society, BETA Club, and was a Junior Marshall at graduation. She stays busy as a member of the varsity cheerleading squad, Student Council, Junior Civitans, Principal Advisory Committee, Spanish Club, and president of Future Teachers of America, as well as, editor of the school yearbook.

Friend and co-worker Anita Carpenter speaks for all of us when she says, “We are so proud of Lindsey and her accomplishments. She’s worked so hard for this and no one deserves it more. We wish her lots of luck at UNC-Charlotte, but want her to remember she always has family here at Uwharrie Capital Corp.”
