Carter County Bank coordinates $15,000 matched donation for Northeast State scholarship program

A $5,000 donation by Carter County Bank combined with a $10,000 anonymous match means $15,000 for the Northeast State Community College Foundation to provide Educate and Grow scholarships for 2012 Carter County graduates. 

The program is an economic development effort designed to develop and maintain a qualified work force. Every 2012 high school graduate in Carter County is eligible to apply for a four-semester scholarship at Northeast State. 

“Carter County Bank understands the value of a quality education to people as individuals and the positive impact it has on our community as a whole. We are extremely proud to be a part of this effort and have had a long history of supporting programs like the Educate and Grow at Northeast State,” said Dale Fair, President of Carter County Bank. 

Awards are made as reimbursements based on tuition need. Scholarship amounts depend on the number of students in the program and the availability of program funds. 

“We are pleased that Carter County Bank has stepped forward to fund this important scholarship,” said Heather Cook, executive director of the Northeast State Foundation. “Local support is very meaningful for students because it helps them realize their goals and dreams are valued by the community.”
