Your Marketing Co. annually awards a one-time $1,000 scholarship to one graduating high school senior of Woodruff High School who demonstrates excellence in the visual arts.   

Loving Memory

The Emily Camille Stokes Arts Scholarship honors the memory of the late Emily Stokes. She was a 2012 graduate of Woodruff High School and earned a bachelor's degree in graphic design in 2016 from Charleston Southern University, where she received awards in Outstanding Graphic Design and Studio Art.

During her time as a graphic designer at Your Marketing Co. from 2019–2025, Emily played a vital role in helping credit unions across the country bring their brands to life. Her design work combined creativity with clarity, making financial services feel more human, accessible, and inspiring. Emily’s eye for detail and heart for service made her a trusted creative partner to clients and teammates alike.
