BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Winners of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb University Scholastic Achievement Awards were recently invited to receive their medals at an informal gathering. President Dr. William M.

Scholastic Achievement Awards are usually presented at the fall academic convocation, which couldn’t be held this year because of COVID-19 safety protocols. The awards recognize ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb students with the highest GPA. The first-, second-, and third-year awards are calculated at the conclusion of the academic year and are based on the number of academic years the student has completed at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb.
