With triplets entering college at the same time, Jaida Hill’s parents were thrilled when she won an outside four-year, $80,000 scholarship just before graduating high school in 2021. Though NU had already offered Hill about $50,000 in financial aid for each academic year, her family hoped the external scholarship could offset $20,000 a year in.

A shooting Monday morning in the parking lot of the Git N Go Market on Clinch Avenue in South Clinton reportedly left one man injured.
Clinton Police Department officers arrived at the market at 5:03 a.m. after receiving the 5 a.m. call, according to Lt. Danielle Lowry, public information officer.
“It was believed to have been sort of a drive by shooting,” Lowry said.
A police department news release posted to Facebook confirmed that a man was shot during the incident, and he was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville with non-life threatening injuries.
