Douglas, GA— Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundation awarded multiple scholarships to help students complete their education and develop workforce skills for the Fall Semester. Three recipients from the Coffee Campus were awarded a scholarship made possible because of generous college supporters. The scholarships will help pay for tuition, fees, books, and/or supplies needed for their programs. The scholarships were merit-based and applicants had to complete an application and provide letters of support.

Recipients awarded were DeShon Brown, Associate of Science in Nursing student, awarded the Hanna Family Scholarship; Landon Stone, Welding student, awarded the Premium Peanut Scholarship; and Candace Hatton, Accounting student, received the William H. Crider, Jr. Scholarship. Landon shared how this impacts him, “Gas is by far the biggest expense and this scholarship is helping me attend and pursue my career goals.”
