Shelton brothers endow scholarship program

It will help Surry, Stokes students who want to go to community college

(Winston-Salem Journal) -
Charlie and Ed Shelton, brothers and business partners who have deep ties to Surry and Stokes counties, are reaching back to help high-school students in the counties who want to go to college.

A program established by the Sheltons, the owners of The Village at Shelton Vineyards in Dobson, will award about 50 students up to $1,000 in scholarships to Surry Community College and Forsyth Technical Community College.

The program will focus on the work ethic and character of students with financial need, Ed Shelton said Thursday.
