CARTERVILLE – John A. Logan College student Adam Dutton of West Frankfort is the recipient of a $250 scholarship, courtesy of the Leathernecks motorcycle club in Southern Illinois.

The award is presented annually to a former United States Marine, who is enrolled in college classes. Dutton was one of four qualified candidates for the scholarship, according to Stacy Holloway, Director of Scholarships and Alumni Services at the college.
