The Guinea Heritage Association is now offering the Kenneth A. Hall Memorial Scholarship for 2021. Priority for awarding this new $5,000 scholarship will be given to applicants with a connection to the Guinea area of Gloucester County.

Gloucester native Kenneth A. Hall Sr., a prominent business leader in the county, was the founder of Hall Automotive. This scholarship reflects his desire to give back to the Guinea community so that others can achieve their educational and career dreams, a release stated.

Along with the new scholarship, GHA’s other three—the Guinea Heritage Association Ltd. Scholarship, the C.B. Rowe Memorial Scholarship and the Mac Sisson Technical/Vocational Scholarship—have all raised their awards up to $1,000. The date to apply for any of the scholarship has been extended to May 15.

Scholarship details and the application form can be found at guineaheritage.org and ghs.gloucester.schooldesk.net.

Scholarship applications may be submitted to the Gloucester High School’s counseling office, mailed directly to the GHA Scholarship Committee, Attn: Sharon Zuber, P.O. Box 411, Bena, Va. 23018, or sent electronically to guineaheritage@gmail.com.
