Alliance Resource Partners Awards Scholarships to Employee Children

Since its inception in 1997, the program has distributed $627,000 to 283 students. This year, the top three candidates—Emalee Barton, Paige Mullis, and Addy Sutton—earned $2,000 renewable scholarships. Five additional students, including Noah Baker, Hannah Higgs, Caeden Mileur, Mason Saylor, and Carolyn Spratt, received $1,000 awards to assist with their transition to higher education.

Beyond student support, the company honors the educators who facilitated these academic achievements. Josh Maddox and Bethany Sutton received $500 Teacher Achievement Awards after being nominated by the top-ranked scholars. The selection process for all recipients is managed by Scholarship America, ensuring an independent evaluation of applicants' contributions to their schools and communities.
