In Spring Semester of 2021, Coca-Cola Bottling United (CCBU) and The Rural Development Partners (RDP) created a scholarship program with SRTC. CCBU and RDP committed to a gift of $50,000 to fund this scholarship so that students who choose technical education in Colquitt, Tift, Turner, and Worth counties will benefit from their efforts to support these communities over five years. Electrical Construction and Maintenance student Alan Smith was the inaugural recipient of the scholarship. “I am well aware of what I want and I have confidence that attending Southern Regional Technical College will give me a chance to pursue my dream,” said Smith. “I hope that after finishing my degree, I will be able to apply for a good job. Knowing that electrical and construction have massively contributed to today’s society, I eagerly want to be a part of it.”
