Leadership Tri-County Announces 2025 Scholarship Recipients
Leadership Tri-County is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 LTC Leadership Scholarships, awarded to three outstanding high school seniors from across the Tri-County region. These scholarships recognize young leaders who demonstrate exceptional service, initiative, and a strong commitment to their communities.
After a highly competitive application process that showcased the talent and dedication of students in Knox, Laurel, and Whitley counties, three recipients were selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship each in recognition of their leadership potential and community impact.
This year’s honorees are:
Knox County – Ayla Urton, presented by LTC Board Member Brendia Moses
Laurel County – Bailey Evans, presented by LTC Executive Director Jordyne Carmack
Whitley County – Riley Lewis, presented by LTC Board Member Tammy Smith
“These students exemplify the spirit of what Leadership Tri-County stands for,” said Executive Director Jordyne Carmack. “They are already making a difference through their actions, and we are honored to play a small part in supporting their next chapter.”
Leadership Tri-County continues to invest in the next generation of change makers, helping students take their first steps toward future leadership roles in Eastern Kentucky and beyond.
