Adair Co. students graduate Rogers Scholars/Explorers programs From Sharon Dodson Three students from Adair County graduated The Center for Rural Development's youth programs this summer. Ellie Cheatham graduated from the Rogers Scholars program, while J.T. Loy and Preston Wilson graduated from the Rogers Explorers program. Cheatham is the daughter of Bryan and Tiffany Cheatham of Columbia. Loy is the son of Michael and Robin Loy of Columbia, and Wilson is the son of Jonathan and Ashley Wilson of Columbia. Rogers Scholars Ellie Cheatham, a current sophomore at Adair County High School, graduated the 25th annual Rogers Scholars youth leadership program. Cheatham is the daughter of Bryan and Tiffany Cheatham, of Columbia. Rogers Scholars, The Center's flagship youth program, was established through the vision of U.S. Congressman Harold "Hal" Rogers (KY-05) that "no young person should have to leave home to find his or her future." The camp focuses on honing skills in leadership, team building, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, community service, and students participate in different career pathway majors. The Center hosted two camps of Rogers Scholars at Morehead State University in Morehead, KY and Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, KY. Sixty-eight students graduated the program. As a graduate of the program, students earn potential access to exclusive scholarships at some of the state's top-ranked colleges and universities. In order to complete their eligibility, students have to organize their own community service project in their hometown. "Every summer we are impressed and inspired by the students who graduate from the program," said Lonnie Lawson, President and CEO of The Center for Rural Development. "They are focused on their future and passionate about the communities in which they live. These are the students who, in the future, will be leading our communities, our schools, our businesses, and our government. They give us hope for a better Southern and Eastern Kentucky." Rogers Scholars, along with The Center's other youth programs, are provided tuition-free. Lodging and food are provided at no cost to participants. The application period for the 2023 Rogers Scholars Program will run from October 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023.

Wilson is the son of Jonathan and Ashley Wilson, of Columbia.

Explorers is a three-day and two-night program on six different college campuses: Lindsey Wilson College, Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Asbury University, University of the Cumberlands, and Union College.
