Tobacco Assistance Funds

            DANVILLE, VA, September 20, 2004 – More than $199,000 was awarded by the Danville Community College Educational Foundation in scholarship awards for the 2004-2005 academic year. This includes $103,000 in assistance to recipients impacted by shifts in the tobacco industry.  Martha Walker, Director of Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the DCC Educational Foundation, said the generous giving on the part of so many individuals and businesses have made it possible for 210 DCC students to continue their education.
        “We are extremely grateful to these individuals and businesses,” Walker said. “Without their support, many students would not be able to realize their higher education goals.”
        Walker added the funding for the special assistance for tobacco-impacted families was made possible through DCC’s share of the tobacco settlement funds. The college is one of seven community colleges to share in this funding. In addition to being adversely impacted by the downturns in the tobacco industry, recipients must also demonstrate academic excellence.
