Ken Wilson establishes scholarship

 

Monday, December 9, 2024

The Haywood Community College Foundation is pleased to announce the newly established Ken Wilson Memorial Scholarship.

This scholarship was established in memory of Ken Wilson, owner of Ken Wilson Ford here in Canton. His family shares that “Ken saw the value of education and how it enables someone to expand their opportunities. A scholarship can be a stepping stone and incentive to finish a chosen field of study.”

This scholarship is open to ten students per semester in the program areas of automotive, business, professional crafts, medical, and general programs. These scholarships are for $1,000 per semester and are renewable throughout the students’ time with HCC as they pursue their Associate Degree. Additionally, there are funds available for tools and technology fees associated with the automotive program.

Registration for the Spring and Summer 2025 semesters are currently open. Students can apply for scholarships through January 9, 2025 for the spring term.
