For Spring Semester 2019, which will begin on January 7th, the Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC) Foundation awarded 79 scholarships totaling over $46,000 to SRTC students. These funds assist students with education related costs such as tuition, fees, clinical scrubs, dissection kits, books, and much more.
“The SRTC Foundation is proud to offer so many scholarships each semester. Scholarships provide financial support to students who need assistance with tuition, books, and other fees. By offering more scholarships for students, the Foundation and the College hope to improve the job skills, technical training, and educational level of the citizens of the community. These funds are only made available because of the generosity of our donors. We sincerely thank and appreciate each of you. Without you, many of our students would not be able to afford books, tuition, or program related supplies,” commented Dr. Amy Maison, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Marketing and Public Relations.

The Hill-Harrell Scholarship was founded by Dr. Freida Hill-Harrell, former President at Southwest Georgia Technical College. While her career led her through various positions within the Technical College System of Georgia, South Georgia has always held a special place in her heart. Dr. Hill-Harrell and her husband, Mr. Bill Harrell, have decided to support the students at Southern Regional Technical College while they pursue their educational dreams. It is their mission to support students in need to ease the burdens of attending college.
The Growing Nurses scholarship was developed by SRTC to attract more students to the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) Program in an effort to help alleviate the critical shortage of nurses in the local community, State of Georgia, and nationwide. The funding for the Growing Nurses program was established by Archbold Medical Center in support of SRTC’s Invest in the Vision Major Gift Campaign. As the SRTC has grown, Colquitt Regional Medical Center and Tift Regional Health System have joined forces with Archbold to support this vital scholarship. These scholarships are awarded annually to deserving students who desire a career as a nurse and who are committed to attending SRTC’s Thomasville Campus in order to complete the requirements for obtaining an ASN degree.
