State Employees Credit Union Provides Continuing Education Scholarships for Randolph Community College Students

Randolph Community College’s Corporate and Continuing Education Department has received funding from the State Employees Credit Union Foundation for 10 Continuing Education scholarships for the 2013-2014 school year—five scholarships per semester at $750 each. The SECU Foundation Continuing Education Scholarship Program is designed to remove financial barriers for students seeking to gain new and/or upgrade current job-related skills. Preference will be given to students with limited or no access to financial aid from other programs.
          
Regina Brewer, director of RCC’s Continuing Education program, said the funds must be used for students enrolled in short-term training programs that lead to a state-regulated or industry-recognized credential, such as machining, maintenance mechanic, welding, HVAC, and electrical. The funds may be used to pay registration fees, book costs, certification fees, and for course supplies.
          
The scholarship program is being administered through the Continuing Education department in collaboration with the College’s Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs.
