Valdosta, GA — Students on the Valdosta Campus of Wiregrass Georgia Technical College learned at a special Scholarship Signing Day event that their hard work is paying off. Thanks to the generous donation of friends and supporters of the college, four students were awarded scholarships that will help pay for tuition, fees, books, and/or supplies needed for their programs. Wiregrass President Dr. Tina K. Anderson congratulated these students on their successes at a special scholarship signing ceremony. “Celebrating our students’ successes is always an exciting time,” shared Dr. Anderson. “Each one has career goals, and thanks to our college supporters, these students are able to remove financial obstacles to achieve those goals.”
Those receiving scholarships at the ceremony were: Dawn Diamond (Neuromuscular Massage Therapy) awarded the Johnson Distributing Scholarship, Timothy Berlinski (Radiologic Technology) received the Ricky Dollar Scholarship, Desiree Davis (Associate of Science in Nursing) received the CJB Industries Scholarship, and LaDasha Minor (Associate of Science in Nursing) was awarded the Dan Hatfield, Jr. Scholarship. These scholarships were merit-based and applicants had to complete an application as well as provide letters of support.
