To help remove financial barriers for students seeking to upgrade or gain new job-related skills, the State Employees Credit Union Foundation recently awarded a $750 continuing education scholarship to each of five Southwestern Community College students.
The five students are enrolled in the Professional Office Management Class at SCC’s Macon Annex in Franklin. The students are learning office skills, Microsoft Office software, Notary Public education, testing for Microsoft Office certifications and working on their Career Readiness Certifications.
The SECU Foundation provides a total of 10 scholarships to all 58 community college every year.
SCC will over the Professional Office Management program again in February. Call 339.4426 or send an email to scotts@southwesterncc.edu.
