Due to economic challenges and situations, the prospect of attending college is a seemingly unattainable dream for many students at Dunbar High School. "Anything is possible with hard work, dedication and perseverance. Success is about consistent effort even in the face of setbacks. Keep pushing forward and never give up on your dreams. Thank you, Amy and 1-800- TruckWreck," said Brandon Dotch a senior at Dunbar High School. For the past seven years, Amy Witherite has made this dream a reality – providing the wherewithal for students to attend and thrive in their new academic environments.

"This scholarship helps relieve much of the financial burden many of our students' families face when applying for college. It allows our students to solely focus on academics and the college experience and provides them access to financial resources they otherwise may not have had without taking out student loans," said Justin Edwards, principal, Dunbar High School.

Scholarship awards will be presented by Amy Witherite Founder, Witherite Law Group.
