From Robertson:

“MY NAME IS THOMAS “DEVON” ROBERTSON. I ATTEND LORD BOTETOURT HIGH SCHOOL. A VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY IS HAPPENING! THERE IS A SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION FOR A 4 YEAR SCHOLARSHIP WITH LIBERTY UNIVERSITY. IT IS THE AMERICAN SCHOLAR CONTEST. I ENTERED THE CONTEST AND HAVE MADE IT TO THE SEMI-FINALS!! 10 OF US ARE COMPETING FOR THIS AWESOME CHANCE AT A COLLEGE FUTURE.

I have longed to go to Liberty University since I can remember. My goals are to excel at LU during my undergraduate years and then enter LU’s School of Law. I am in a race against time. I have been recently diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), an eye disease that leads to blindness. This scholarship will allow me to begin my education immediately and follow it through. I hope to get through my undergraduate years while I can see and I know God will guide me through all of this. But while I can see, I want to experience everything Liberty will provide me. And I hope to see the long line of fellow graduates as we march to collect our diplomas. This scholarship is a chance at a strong future. “
