RAMSEUR — Tiffany Ellis, senior at Eastern Randolph High School, was named the February recipient of CEV Multimedia’s national scholarship program, Career and Technical Education Student of the Month.

During a surprise ceremony full of her senior class, administrators, family and well-wishers, Ellis received a large $500 check to go toward her college of choice. Ellis was nominated by Rhonda Evans, her teacher and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) advisor. Evans said Ellis is well-known and respected for her leadership, talents, and service throughout the community.

“I couldn’t be more proud,” Evans said. “Tiffany doesn’t seek praise for any of her accomplishments, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help her realize the impact she has made on our community through her unselfish giving of her time and talents.”

Ellis is currently in the top 5 percent of her class, has served as president of her school’s FBLA organization for the past two years, currently serves as vice president of her school’s Beta Club, and is involved in the National Society of High School Scholars and the National Technical Honor Society. She has won several FBLA events at regional and state levels and most recently placed first in Future Business Leader Event at FBLA’s Triad Regional Competitive Events Conference in December.

All while juggling two jobs, Ellis also enjoys participating in church activities and community events, such as Big Sweep, Ramseur Food Pantry Canned Food Drive, and the March of Dimes.

Although she is extraordinarily accomplished as a high school student, Ellis struggled to find financial relief while applying for scholarships.

“I have spent a lot of time filling out scholarship applications hoping for good news, and then I am surprised with a scholarship that my wonderful FBLA advisor nominated me to receive,” Ellis said. “Becoming CEV’s CTE Student of the Month is definitely a dream come true.”

Ellis plans to attend N.C. State University after graduation to pursue a degree in architecture.

Teachers can visit www.cevmultimedia.com/cteclub to nominate their outstanding student to receive the CTE Student of the Month scholarship. Announced at the beginning of each month, winners will be a “spotlight feature” on the CEV website for the duration of their reign.

Winners are selected based on involvement within high school organizations, service within their community and other accomplishments they have received as a student. Eligible students must be either a high school junior or senior, and must have participated in a CTE student organization for at least two years.

CEV specializes in providing quality curriculum and educational resources for several major subject areas: agricultural science and technology, family and consumer sciences, trade and industry, business and marketing and career orientation.
