Randolph Community College’s Workforce Development and Continuing
Education Division has received funding from the State Employees Credit
Union Foundation for 10 Continuing Education scholarships for the
2015-2016 school year. Ten students will be eligible for scholarships of
$750 each. This is the third year that the SECU Foundation has provided
these scholarship funds to RCC.
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 continuing education at RCC, 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 emergency
medical services (EMS), machining, maintenance mechanic, welding, HVAC,
and electrical. The funds will be awarded once the student(s) earns
their certificate(s) to reimburse payments made for registration fees,
book costs, certification fees, and course supplies.
