FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

SPARTANBURG, SC -- Two Spartanburg Methodist College students were recently named recipients of a scholarship awarded within the College's Criminal Justice program.

 

Sophomores Dalton Brumlow, of Spartanburg, and Jason Bryant, of Inman, SC, have each been awarded $1,000 by the Upstate chapter of ASIS International. ASIS International is the preeminent organization for security professionals, with more than 37,000 members worldwide.
 
The recipients were selected by a committee which reviewed student essays written in the fall 2008 semester on security-related topics. ASIS requirements for the scholarship are that the student must be either full-time or part-time; they must have completed at least one year of study (30 credits); and they have at last a 3.0 GPA.

Both students will be graduating from SMC in December 2009 with an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice and plan to transfer to the University of South Carolina Upstate.
 
"Both Mr. Bryant and Mr. Brumlow are very deserving of this award. They have worked hard and sacrificed a lot to be a student, a husband, a father and an employee.  I have truly enjoyed having them in the Criminal Justice program and know that they are and will be an asset to any agency they will work for.  I would also like to publically  thank ASIS for recognizing our students with these scholarships," says Lorna Hanson, Director of the Criminal Justice Program.
