BRYAN-LANG FOUNDATION OFFERS RODNEY W. SHEFFIELD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

The Bryan-Lang Foundation, Inc. is offering an academic scholarship to a Camden County

student pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in history or a history-related field at a

Georgia educational institution. The RODNEY W. SHEFFIELD MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP will

be given to a graduating high school senior and to a non-traditional college bound or currently

enrolled college student. The applicant must be a Camden County resident and have a minimum

3.5 or above GPA. Mr. Sheffield, a life-long resident and historian of Camden County, was actively

involved in interpreting the history of the area. His passion was shared with many, and the Bryan-

Lang Foundation is honoring his memory by awarding two $500 scholarships in a calendar. “What

better way to honor Rodney Sheffield’s memory than with a scholarship,” said Eloise Thompson,

chair of the Bryan-Lang Historical Archives Board of Directors. “He loved young people, he knew

the importance of education, and his enthusiasm for history was limitless.” Deadline for the

scholarship awarded to a high school graduate must be postmarked April 23. The deadline for the

scholarship awarded to a college student must be postmarked October 1. Complete guidelines

and the application are available at the following:

- Camden County High School Guidance Department
