Many SCC scholarships have been updated, renewed or increased recently.
Over 50 riders came out for the 4th Annual Dan Ring Memorial Bike Ride held on September 24. The event raised over $2,500 for the Dan Ring Nursing Scholarship.
The Hamilton-Walters Marine Corps Detachment Scholarship was revised and reactivated to give two annual awards of $250 each to family members of US military soldiers or veterans (preference to family members of Marines).
The family of recently deceased Lee J. Hodges contributed $10,000 to the current James Hodges Scholarship, expanded eligibility to include Arts & Sciences students, and updated the name to the James and Lee Hodges Endowed Scholarship.
The Keokuk Campus Nursing Scholarship was renamed the James Bowles and Larry Daggs Endowed Nursing Scholarship. Retired SCC Keokuk Campus Dean Jim Bowles worked to secure additional funding for this endowment when it appeared the scholarship would be discontinued. The late Larry Daggs, while serving on the charter 1966 SCC Board of Trustees, was instrumental in securing the site for the current Keokuk Campus.
When long-time SCC Psychology instructor Ray Eilenstine passed away in October 2011, his family established a memorial scholarship for disadvantaged Burlington High School graduates enrolling at SCC.
Inmates involved in the Toastmasters Club at Iowa State Penitentiary established a $500 annual scholarship for persons enrolling at SCC who have been previously incarcerated through the Iowa Department of Corrections system or for their immediate family members. This is the second scholarship developed and funded by ISP inmates, under the leadership of Steven Frasier-Bey.
Clarification
The article, “Dreamers Wanted” in the Spring/Summer 2011 edition of the Vision, incorrectly implied that graduates who earn SCC’s current Animation for Television, Film and New Media AAS degree would be able to transfer all of their credits to a four-year college. While some of the credits will indeed transfer, students may not be able to count every class toward a bachelor’s degree. Students should consult the transfer institution to learn which classes will transfer.
