26 Seniors Receive Scholarships from GCS Golf Tournament Proceeds
Greenville County Schools has awarded $39,000 in GCS Golf Tournament scholarships to 26 seniors at a luncheon sponsored by Greenville County Schools Foundation. Seventeen recipients were chosen from entries received from District employees’ children. The remaining scholarship winners were selected from students’ applications across the school system. Over the past 22 years, more than $500,000 has been awarded to high school seniors as part of the GCS Scholarship Program.
Judges for this year’s scholarship program were: Danielle Staggers Dyer, Assistant Director, Bridges to a Brighter Future; Mary Capers Bledsoe, Executive Director, SC YMCA Youth in Government and Teen Services; and Chris Haines, Coordinator of School-Based Mental Health Programs, Greenville Mental Health Center.
The 22st annual Greenville County Schools Golf Tournament was held last fall at Pebble Creek Club.
