David Delane Jones
of Waynesboro is the first-ever homeschool winner of the Granville P.
Meade scholarship. David graduated in the commencement ceremonies at the
2012 HEAV convention in Richmond.
Homeschooled
since the seventh grade, David is a member of several honor societies,
advanced to the nationals in the National Bible Bee three years in a
row, and obtained a Master Diver certification at age 16. He ministers
at a Hispanic church by assisting with computers, playing drums, and
designing Spanish graphic arts. David plans to major in marine science
at Old Dominion University before pursuing graduate studies.
HEAV
worked with the Virginia Department of Education and the State Council
of Higher Education to develop a mechanism to handle the selection
process for homeschoolers. David was one of several students to receive
an $8,000 scholarship to be used at a Virginia public or private
college.
