The National Council of Textile Organization’s Fiber Council announced recently that William Parker of Glen Allen is the recipient of the 2018 Paul T. O’Day Memorial Scholarship Award.
Parker will graduate with honors from Mills E. Godwin High School and will go to the Georgia Institute of Technology’s (Georgia Tech) College of Engineering, where he intends to major in computer engineering.
The scholarship program was created in 2014 in honor of Paul T. O’Day, who served as President of the American Fiber Manufacturers Association for more than three decades. AFMA merged with NCTO in April 2018, and NCTO’s Fiber Council now administers the scholarship program. Recipients receive a $5,000 award each year, totaling $20,000 for four years of study. Sons or daughters of NCTO’s Fiber Council member company employees are eligible to apply.
