Fitzgerald, GA— Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundation awarded multiple scholarships to help students complete their education and develop workforce skills for the Fall Semester. Recipients from the Ben Hill-Irwin Campus were awarded a scholarship made possible by generous college supporters. The scholarships will help pay for tuition, fees, books, and/or supplies needed for their programs. The scholarships were merit-based, and applicants had to complete an application and provide letters of support.

The recipients are listed with their program of study and the scholarship they were awarded: Andrew Hubert, Cybersecurity, Buck and Libby Anderson Scholarship; Alicia Lakosky, Early Childhood Care, The Rosalie and Buddy Kruger Scholarship; Taliyah Sutton, CNC Specialist, The Rosalie and Buddy Kruger Scholarship; and Ashley Benson, Nursing, Marion H Massee, III Scholarship. Alicia Lakosky, Early Childhood Care student, shared that the Rosalie and Buddy Kruger Scholarship means that she can continue her education and one day allow her to be able to enter the career field she’s studying for.
