Student scholarship provided by national Red Cross, not local

Editor:

Thank you for the nice Make Kids County spotlight about Arjun Sebastian and his Red Cross award (May 23). We are very proud of him and his accomplishments.

May I make one correction: The scholarship he received was from the national American Red Cross, not the American Red Cross of Augusta. As much as we would like to give him such an award, we are not financially able to provide a $2,500 scholarship.

Thank you for your support of the Red Cross.
