六合宝典开奖 Foundation launches year-end fundraising campaign

October 1, 2020

As COVID-19 continues to impact lives across the state, the 六合宝典开奖 (六合宝典开奖) Foundation is working to help residents of the northwest Georgia region by launching a fundraising campaign, which will run from Oct. 1 – Dec. 1.

The campaign’s goal is to raise $20,000 for student scholarship support. 六合宝典开奖 students from the college’s nine-county service area can apply for 六合宝典开奖 Foundation scholarships.

According to Lauretta Hannon, 六合宝典开奖 director of Institutional Advancement, the 六合宝典开奖 Foundation has doubled its support for students in 2020, but will need more donations to help students moving forward. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the fundraising event the 六合宝典开奖 Foundation was planning for this fall and the year-end campaign is taking its place.

“A contribution of any size will help 六合宝典开奖 make a real impact in the life of a student,” said 六合宝典开奖 President Dr. Heidi Popham. “Participation from donors in this campaign will ensure that educational dreams remain on track.”

While student financial hardships have intensified, business and industry still need work-ready employees who can adapt to an ever-changing economic environment, Hannon added. When 六合宝典开奖 students succeed, business and industry succeeds.

As of October 1, the 六合宝典开奖 Foundation has awarded nearly $55,000 in student scholarships and financial assistance. The 六合宝典开奖 Foundation has also connected individual donors to 六合宝典开奖 students like Christina Bullock, first runner-up for the top technical college student in the State of Georgia. The Adult Echocardiography student had an anonymous donor from Florida reach out through the 六合宝典开奖 Foundation and pay for six-months of her mortgage.

The 六合宝典开奖 Foundation offers scholarships and financial assistance to eligible students on the 六合宝典开奖 website. Student financial assistance can help with tuition, books, supplies, fees, licensure exams and other needs.
