30 Seniors Receive Scholarships from GCS Golf Tournament Proceeds
Greenville County Schools has awarded $36,000 in GCS Golf Tournament scholarships to 30 seniors at a luncheon sponsored by Greenville County Schools Foundation. Twenty-three recipients were chosen from entries received from District employees’ children. The remaining scholarship winners were selected from students’ applications across the school system. More than $436,000 has been awarded to high school seniors in the 19-year history of the GCS Scholarship Program.
Judges for this year’s scholarship program were: Tami Miller, LEAD Coordinator for the Greenville Chamber; Mary Capers Bledsoe, Executive Director of the SC YMCA Youth in Government; and Rhonda Rawlings, News and Community Affairs Director for Summit Media.
