Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundation awarded multiple scholarships to help students complete their education and develop workforce skills. Four students from the Valdosta Campus received scholarships to help pay for tuition, fees, books, and supplies needed for their programs, which were made possible because of generous college supporters. The scholarships were merit-based, and applicants had to complete an application and provide letters of support. 

The Valdosta Campus students awarded scholarships for Summer Semester were: Amy Thomas, Radiologic Technology, Farmers and Merchants Bank Scholarship; Gracie Tenery, Associate of Science in General Business, Fryslie Memorial Scholarship; Dale Bethel, Automotive Technology, Georgia Automotive Dealers Association Scholarship; and Belinda Thomas, Associate of Science in Nursing, CJB Scholarship. 

Radiologic Technology student Amy Thomas shared how grateful she is for the Farmers and Merchants Banks Scholarship she received. “This multi-semester scholarship has meant I didn’t have to pay for my books or take out any student loans this semester,” shared Thomas.
