Donors and scholarship recipients were recognized during Central Carolina Community College Foundation’s Scholarship Luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic & Conference Center.
The master of ceremonies for the event was Bishop Charles Mellette, senior pastor of Christian Provision Ministries, who acknowledged special guests and supporters who have helped make scholarships possible.
The theme of the event was “Building a New Future.”
Ebony Cole, a recipient of the Cherri Erford Turbeville Scholarship, noted, “As a single parent, returning to school has been challenging financially, mentally, and physically. Applying for the Foundation scholarship was a leap of faith, and when I learned I had been chosen, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. This scholarship has lifted a tremendous burden from my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my studies and move closer to my dreams.”
She thanked the giver of the scholarship, Stan Turbeville, saying that his support has made this journey possible. “You have given me more than just financial assistance — you have given me hope, encouragement, and the opportunity to create a better future for my family,” said Cole.
Meghan Brown, vice president of advancement, operations and government relations, read a prepared statement from Olivia Jaimes, scholarship recipient of the James French Dreamkeeper Fund, who was unable to attend.
Jaimes noted the variety of jobs that she has held — but noted that she found her passion in cosmetology. “This field allows me to connect with people, helping them feel better about themselves and, hopefully, making their day a little brighter. The beauty industry has an amazing power to touch lives, and it’s a privilege to train for a career that I believe can make a real difference in people’s lives.”
“This scholarship has been a beacon of hope, a reminder that people out there believe in me and my future. … To all the donors here tonight, thank you for making scholarships like this possible. Your generosity has a profound impact on students like me — students who have a dream to build a better future not only for themselves but for their families and communities. Because of your support, I am closer to my goal of finishing my degree and, one day, opening a salon where I can provide jobs and help others on their journeys. Thank you so much for this opportunity, for your belief in our dreams, and for helping us build a brighter future.”
