Lee Establishes New Scholarship in Memory of Bradley Co. Student

BRADLEY COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) – The passing of a Bradley County High School student has led to the establishment of a new scholarship for Lee University.

The family of Ashlyn Lamberth recently established a memorial scholarship at the university.

Ashlyn was a graduate of Bradley High School who died in 2015 as a result of a vehicular accident just months before her scheduled start at Lee.

The $15,000 gift from her parents, Anthony and Princess Lamberth, will establish a permanent scholarship to assist Lee students participating in sports and music.
