Jerry Williams III is the Tallahatchie County recipient of the Mississippi Association of Supervisors’ 2023 County Employee Scholarship.
The Tallahatchie County Board of Supervisors presented Williams with a $500 check and a certificate signifying the award.
Williams, the son of Jerry Williams II and Ashley Williams of Charleston, is a 2023 graduate of Delta Academy and will be attending Northwest Community College in Senatobia in the fall.
“We wish him the best in this next chapter of his life, and all further ventures,” according to a statement from Tallahatchie County supervisors and the MAS.
This year, the MAS County Employee Scholarship program awarded $40,000 in scholarships to dependents of current or retired county employees around the state.
Derrick Surrette, executive director of MAS, said, “The MAS County Employee Scholarship program is one way that our association can give back to the employees of our counties. We hope to have an even greater response to the program next year.”
MAS is a nonprofit support association for Mississippi’s 82 counties. For more information, visit the website at www.mssupervisors.org.
