Hornets Rolling Out College Scholarship Program For Local Students

The Hornets will fund two $60,000 college scholarships and "establish a mentoring program for those two scholarship winners." Charlotte-area high school seniors can apply online at Hornets.com starting today. The "driving forces of this gesture" were G Kemba Walker, F Marvin Williams and coach Steve Clifford. Players, coaches, the team's charitable foundation and the NBA are contributing to the program. Each scholarship will provide $15,000 annually for up to four years at a North Carolina public university (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 1/24).
