The scholarship dinner was held on Saturday, July 13th in Atlanta, GA where Morris had the opportunity to meet and be photographed with Mr. George M. Hughes himself.
Morris was chosen from a pool of many qualified applicants, and the selection committee was impressed by his academic achievements, dedication to community service and commitment to higher education.

Mr. Morris addressed the audience by saying, “My name is Caden Morris. I graduated from Woodward Academy in College Park, GA. I will be attending Morehouse College this fall while studying Political Science on a Pre-Law track, while playing football as well. I would like to give a special thanks to my parents for pouring into me, my mom and my dad. This has truly been a blessing! Thank you for everything.” Caden is the son of Rae Williams and Dr. Kemberly Edwards-Williams, formerly of Chattanooga, TN.
