High school graduates in Delta, Lamar, Hunt, Hopkins and Red River counties, as well as students from Honey Grove and Fannindel High Schools, are all eligible for summer class scholarships at Paris Junior College.
In a recent press release from PJC, they advised that graduating seniors from within their coverage area are eligible for a scholarship covering tuition for a class in either of the five-week Summer I or Summer II semesters.
This opportunity was made possible by generous donors to the PJC Memorial Foundation the release stated. Students had the option to take either a core academic class to transfer and save money, or a workforce class leading to a great career.
“PJC offers a great education with small class sizes and personalized attention from experienced instructors, “ PJC President Dr. Pam Anglin said, “that is a big part of why more than two-thirds of all students graduating with bachelor degrees have community college hours as part of that degree.”
Summer I is set to begin June 3, and Summer II to begin on July 10. Graduating students interested in applying can fill out the online scholarship application online by going to; www.parisjc.edu/scholarships.
High school seniors wanting the summer class scholarship should enter “graduating senior 2019” in the scholarship application box that asks for “semester/year to attend PJC.”
Registration is going on now for summer classes. For questions or more information contact Amie Cato at 903-782-0425 or acato@parisjc.edu or Sheila Reece at 903-782-0211 or sreece@parisjc.edu.
