The Foundation’s Director, Jonathan Jeter, praised the scholarships. “This year we are pleased to support outstanding high school graduates in the communities we serve with the support of the Foundation’s Board and our generous donors,” Jeter said. “We look forward to watching what great things these students will do in this community and beyond.”
To qualify for the scholarships, applicants were required to have been a high school graduate within the Wharton County Junior College’s service area. In addition, they had to complete a scholarship application, including an essay. Priority was given to students who demonstrated how a scholarship would enable them to overcome financial constraints in order to attend Wharton County Junior College.
The WCJC Foundation Office is located on Wharton campus, located inside the J. M. Hodges Library. For more information on ways to give to the Foundation visit wcjcfoundation.org or contact Jonathan Jeter at jeterj@wcjc.edu or 979-532-6981.
