The recipients of The BWCA Lita McClinton Book Scholarship are selected on the basis of their academic merit, need, and commitment to community service. The scholarship was established in memory of the late Lita McClinton, a former BWCA Member and the daughter of founding member, JoAnn McClinton and Emory McClinton, Sr. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to interface with BWCA members and to participate in various projects. The Scholarship Committee’s focus for the coming year will be to provide opportunities for our recipients to gain experience in sharing their talents and knowledge with younger students. We will also seek to help develop the professional etiquette that should be ever-present in all of their endeavors.
