Chincoteague Island, VA—May 26, 2022: The Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce is honored to present the 2022 Nicki L. West Memorial Scholarship to Megan Horner. The Nicki L. West Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a Chincoteague High School student on the basis of character, citizenship, leadership, ability and need.

Nicki L. West's granddaughter, Jessica West, presented the award to Miss Horner at the Chincoteague High School Awards Banquet on May 25th.
