Sparks, GA — Students on the Cook 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, two 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: Joy Sexton (Advanced Patient Care) awarded the JM Eagle Scholarship, and Ayat Odeh (Technical Specialist) received the Clarence Smith Memorial Scholarship. These scholarships were merit based and applicants had to complete an application as well as provide letters of support.
