Doreyl Ammons Cain (seated, center) signs the papers to establish a scholarship at Southwestern Community College on behalf of “Catch the Spirit of Appalachia.”
Standing at right is Amy Ammons Garza, (standing at right), who along with Cain co-founded Catch the Spirit of Appalachia. Brett Woods, director of the SCC Foundation, is at left. Cain and Garza donated $11,000 on behalf of their organization and plan to complete the endowment with an additional $4,000 by April of 2017.
Once endowed, the scholarship will be used to support student tuition, books and supplies for selected students enrolled in a degree-seeking program or pursuing a college transfer degree.
Priority will be given to the study of the arts and environment, and preference will be given to candidates who’ve proven themselves to be academically deserving and with a demonstrated financial need. For info on how to donate to the fund, contact Woods at b_woods@southwesterncc.edu or 828.339.4241.
