Kiauna Benniefield is the winner of four-year scholarship worth $20,000 and Cayden Coggins the winner of a $5,000 grant, the Sparks Family and Connie & Ricky Sparks Scholarship Foundation announced.
The four-year and two-year awards go to Hendersonville High School graduates. Kiauna Benniefield will enroll at UNC-Charlotte in the fall while Coggins plans to attend Blue Ridge Community College.
The Connie & Ricky Sparks Memorial Scholarship was created after the tragic loss of their beloved mother, Connie Sparks and their cherished brother, Ricky Sparks to honor and celebrate their lives. This is the 15th year the family has presented the Connie & Ricky Sparks Memorial Scholarship, which has totaled $260,000 received by truly outstanding deserving HHS graduates.
Two previous scholarship recipients helped present the awards — Tamaron Hill, class of 2016, and David Orihuela-Rio, class of 2021.
