Krell awarded Chancellor’s Scholarship at Appalachian

BOONE — West Forsyth High School graduate Abraham “Abe” Krell, from Clemmons, is one of 10 incoming first-year students at Appalachian State University that have been awarded the prestigious Chancellor’s Scholarship, which covers full institutional costs for four years of study. The Chancellor’s Scholarship is Appalachian’s oldest and most academically competitive merit-based scholarship.

Krell, who intends to major in geography with a concentration in geographic information systems, was an Eagle Scout and served as the president of the West Forsyth High School chapter of the North Carolina Technology Student Association. A North Carolina Governor’s School East attendee, he is passionate about the natural sciences and enjoys competing on various teams with the Academic Competition for Excellence.

Regarding his goals after attending Appalachian, Krell said, “I hope to find a career that involves helping others through strengthening our environment. I have always been interested in geography and studying how people interact with others in their communities.” He is the son of Linda-Sue and Roy Krell.

“These incoming Chancellor’s Scholars truly represent individuals eager to engage in and embrace the life-changing Appalachian experience,” Chancellor Sheri Everts said. “Their ambitious academic goals and demonstrated dedication to community service and leadership have earned them this honor. Appalachian will provide them an environment where they can thrive and become engaged global citizens.”

Chancellor’s Scholars may be in any major program and are leaders in the Honors College at Appalachian. The scholarship offers full institutional costs for eight semesters and other academic and cocurricular benefits, including special housing and travel opportunities. Students must maintain a 3.45 minimum grade point average to renew the scholarship each year.
