Wildlife students recognized with scholarship
Two Haywood Community College students have been recognized for their leadership, scholarship and dedication to the wildlife management profession with the 2016 Dave Dudek Wildlife Award.
Blake Ledbetter and Trevor Walker, both fish and wildlife technology students, will receive a $500 scholarship along with the honor, which is named for the founding advisor of HCC’s chapter of The Wildlife Society. The Wildlife Society is responsible for giving the award.
Ledbetter plans to continue his education with a wildlife biology degree at N.C. State University and pursue a master’s degree from there. Walker also plans to go to N.C. State, continuing in the wildlife program to achieve his goal of becoming a wildlife biologist.
