Joye Law Firm, a North Charleston-based law firm, recently awarded four graduating seniors from area high schools with $2,500 scholarships to assist them with college expenses.

The professionals at Joye Law Firm wish to congratulate this year's recipients: Amanda Fox of Hanahan High School, Samantha Dorsey of Goose Creek High School; Nicholas Cleveland of Summerville High School, and Synetria Jones of Summerville High School.

“We are pleased to recognize these fine students for their academic achievements and community service,” said Ken W. Harrell, Managing Partner at Joye Law Firm. “These students exemplify hard work and dedication, and we know their futures will continue to be bright and full of success.”

He also was a member of the French Honor Club, Quest, Who’s Who Among American High School Students, the National Society of High School Scholars, the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, and the National Youth Leadership Forum. He was also nominated for the French Honor Club People to People Ambassador in addition to receiving academic letters and being named a South Carolina National Scholar.

Attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., Nicholas will pursue a career in aeronautical engineering.
