MURFREESBORO, TN, July 29, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Orthodontists Dr. Warren T. Johnson of Johnson Orthodontics recently awarded college scholarships to six of his orthodontic patients in the Murfreesboro TN area who excelled in grade point average, ACT scores, and participation in community service. In order to be eligible for the 2010 college scholarships, patients submitted an essay describing their career goals and greatest accomplishments thus far in their young lives and plan to enter college in the fall.
Dr Johnson awards four $500 college scholarships every year to patients who completed orthodontic treatment in his practice. However, this year, since the applicant pool was so large, he and his staff elected to increase the number of scholarships awarded to six.
"This is a great way to give back to our patients," said Dr. Warren Johnson. "Many students today, in one form or another, find the time in their busy schedules to donate their efforts to their community as well as maintain good grades. It is an amazing juggling act kids undergo today. We feel our orthodontic college scholarship program acknowledges our patient's efforts to advance themselves as well as contribute to the community."
The 2010 Johnson Orthodontics College Scholarships were awarded to:
Ethan Womick - graduate of Cannon County High School attending MTSU
Rebecca Webb - graduate of Blackman High School attending MTSU
Bethany Alcorn - graduate of Blackman High School attending MTSU
Christopher Wehofer - graduate of Oakland High School attending Univ of TN
Kriston Jemison - graduate Riverdale High School attending Univ of Memphis
Joseph Scearce - graduate of Seigel High School attending the Univ of TN
Johnson Orthodontics has offered their scholarship program to orthodontic patients since 2002. "The goal of our scholarship program is to help our families offset the rising cost of college expenses, especially in this economy," added Dr. Johnson. "As long as we continue to create beautiful smiles to help build self esteem and confidence in students as they develop and grow, we will continue to offer orthodontic scholarships to patients who are on the road to building a successful future."
