The 30A Company recently announced the winner of the 2023 Media Scholarship. After reviewing several applications, the $2000 scholarship was awarded to Chloe Reynolds for her exceptional application and credentials.

The 30A team surprised Chloe at Beach Happy Cafe and presented her with the scholarship check, while the staff cheered in celebration!

Chloe, a recent graduate of Seacoast Collegiate High School and Northwest Florida State College, has achieved an impressive 4.4 GPA. She has nurtured her passion for photography since 8th grade. Her talents led her to contribute to her school’s literary and art magazine, where she served as a graphics design editor before assuming the role of editor.

In April 2023, Chloe volunteered her time at the 9th Annual 30A Sand Rover Rally, showcasing her commitment to community involvement. With a profound fascination for filmmaking and television, Chloe is eagerly looking forward to beginning her major in Film and Television at the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) this coming fall.

As she embarks on her journey at SCAD, we extend our best wishes to Chloe for her future endeavors.
