Fitzgerald, GA — Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundation awarded multiple scholarships to help students complete their education and develop workforce skills. Two students from the Ben Hill-Irwin Campus were among the 16 Wiregrass students awarded scholarships, which were 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.

The students awarded scholarships for Spring Semester were: Savannah Johnson, Surgical Technology, Buck and Libby Anderson Scholarship; and McKinley Tyson, Business Management, the Rosalie and Buddy Kruger Scholarship.

Business Management student, McKinley Tyson, shared how grateful she was when she learned she was awarded the scholarship. “I am so grateful as this will allow me to continue my education in business Management,” said Tyson.
