CONWAY — For the past two decades, each spring at the annual Kennett High School senior scholarship awards program, a host of Eagles have received Farrington Scholarships. Over 20 years, the Eleanor E. Farrington Trust awarded more than 600 scholarships to college-bound Eagles, totaling more than $2 million.
It appears the final flock of Eagles to receive the Farrington scholarship was the Class of 2019.
