Industry News Trustees of the Scott Morton Educational Over $6000 Raised During "Telethon" Trust Fund (SMET) met on October 3, 2012 at the NC Manufactured and Modular Home- builders Association (NCMHA) to conduct a "telethon" for the SMET. Their efforts raised over $6,000. "It was a fun day and a great way to raise money for such an important cause", said Andy Miller President of Nationwide Homes and SMET Trustee. The SMET was established in 1988 in the memory of former NCMHA Executive Director PatsyMorton Rumbley's son, Scott. The trust awards scholarships based on need and merit to students nominated by members of NCMHA. Nominees must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and must list their achievements and financial need. Applicants can be graduating high school sen- iors; adults attending college, junior college or technical school; or students with special edu- cational gifts or needs. 100% of donations to the Fund go directly to the scholarship and the scholarships are awarded annually to deserving students nomi- nated by members of NCMHA. To date, the SMET Scholarship has awarded over $75,000 to over 150 recipients. "I received the ScottMorton Scholarship for several years in a row. It helped me out with the growing expenses of college educations. I have since graduated from Methodist College with a BA in Science and Microbiology. I am now in the process of gettingmyMaster's degree at Duke University Medical School, PA pro- gram. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. Who would have guessed that a mid- dle-class girl from Lumberton would become a Physician's Assistant? Thank you for helping to make my dreams come true", Samantha Byrd, scholarship recipient.
