KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. - The Ron Cameron Foundation increased the original Ron Cameron Memorial Scholarship award amount to its first recipient Benjamin Clark of Chadds Ford, Pa., as the result from the proceeds of the 2nd Annual Remembering Ron Cameron Golf Outing at Loch Nairn Golf Club.

During the scholarship recognition ceremony at the outing dinner, members of the foundation announced they were awarding Clark an additional $4,000 to cover educational costs. He was initially awarded a $1,000 grant to continue his studies at the Pennsylvania College of Technology in Williamsport, Pa., a Penn State affiliate, in a Residential Construction Management curriculum.

He also received a commemorative plaque and an invitation to the golf outing. The additional funds yield a total scholarship of $5,000.

The Ron Cameron Memorial Scholarship, in memory of the late Ronald W. Cameron who passed away March 20, 2006 at the age of 38, recognizes excellence, a passion for the trades, and a strong work ethic.
