Caroline Alexander Receives Scholarship at Randolph-Macon Academy

2011 Dec 1

C. Grace Alexander, the daughter of Lyle and Mindy Alexander of Front Royal, has received the Nicholas G. Ryder '65 Flight Scholarship at Randolph-Macon Academy. This scholarship was established in 2007 through gifts from Mr. Nicholas Ryder and the Ryder family. It will provide a financial award to a student who has had a life-long goal of becoming a pilot, and has a deep passion for flight; recipients should also be in good academic standing, have good leadership skills and character values, and have demonstrated a deep desire to participate in the R-MA flight program.

Grace was formally presented with the scholarship during a ceremony held during Fall Family Weekend on November 5, 2011. She is a sophomore at Randolph-Macon Academy
