David Fussell Jr. What does receiving this scholarship mean to you? This scholarship means the world to me. This scholarship gave me the opportunity to attend East Carolina University and to further my education. I have always been fascinated with the science of how our body is made up and how it functions. This scholarship gave me the chance to make something great happen in my life to help others in my future medical career. The Fussells have done so much for our county and our state. I am thankful to Mr. and Mrs. Fussell for helping me reach my dreams.
