Williams will graduate from Christiansburg High School. Her imagination and creativity in using several different mediums to create her art is unique and inspired. She will attend Brigham Young University, and major in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Fine Arts.

Each student receives a $1,000 college scholarship, and the Rotary Club will place a children’s book in the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library in their honor.
Annually the Rotary Club of Blacksburg selects outstanding seniors from Montgomery County’s four high schools to receive Fine Arts, Math/Science and Career and Technical Education awards and scholarships.
