Augusta University honors Stanford as top black scholar

Augusta University recently held its annual Black Scholar Recognition Program, which honors the top three black scholars at area high schools in the CSRA. Erin Stanford, an 11th grade student at Emanuel County Institute (“ECI”), received this honor for her outstanding academic achievements and commitment to excellence.

The event, which is in its 22nd year, was held at the Grover C. Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre on the Summerville Campus. The ceremony brought together students, their families, educators, and community leaders highlighting the importance of recognizing and fostering the talents of young scholars.

Stanford’s achievements are a testament to the competitive academic environment at ECI and the school’s dedication and support of its students. Her recognition by Augusta University underscores her exceptional potential and the bright future ahead of her.
