Montgomery. The scholarship has been established with the intention of assisting students who face financial barriers in their pursuit of academic growth.<\/p>\n

Dr. Carol Montgomery was beloved by many. She was a pilot, avid volunteer, travel enthusiast, and ambassador for our United States military. As a lifelong student and educator, Dr. Montgomery deeply believed in the accessibility of education. <\/p>\n

“Establishing scholarships and providing funding for students ensures we can grow as a community,\u201d said Mac. \u201cThe investment we make in students’ education will live long beyond those that give, and supporting students at community colleges will benefit everyone they come in contact with and our entire community. I attended a community college and am proud to have worked at a community college in North Carolina. I am committed to ensuring those opportunities are available to all future students.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the distinctive features of the Carol Lemley Montgomery Endowed Scholarship is that it allows students from all areas of study to apply. Whether aspiring to enter the fields of healthcare, technology, business, or the arts, eligible students can apply for this scholarship and receive the necessary financial support to succeed in their educational journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that education should be a pathway accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances,\u201d said Jim Morton, CFCC President. \u201cThe Carol Lemley Montgomery Endowed Scholarship embodies our commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to pursue an education and find a career path.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
