Crawford Strategy establishes Scholarship at Greenville Technical College
May 3, 2016
GREENVILLE, SC – In honor of a milestone anniversary in 2015, Crawford Strategy established a Communications Scholarship to be awarded annually to a Greenville Technical College student enrolled in the Business and Marketing program. The scholarship was created in honor of Sandy Linning, a Strategic Advisor and lifelong friend to Crawford Strategy President and CEO, Marion Crawford.
For the 2015 – 2016 academic year, an award of $1,000 was given to a Greenville Technical College Student. “This scholarship was awarded based upon specific guidelines and faculty recommendation,” says Butler Mullins, Foundation Manager for Greenville Tech Foundation. “This gesture made a genuine difference in the life of a very dedicated student.”
Columbia, S.C. native Kiara Cancer is determined to be the first in her family to graduate college and this scholarship is helping her achieve this goal. She chose Greenville Technical College because of the reputation of the marketing program and the relationships she quickly established with staff.
“I am extremely grateful to receive the Communications Scholarship from Crawford Strategy,” says Kiara. “I have had a lot of challenges and personal adversities to overcome to get this far. I am confident through the support of my advisor and gracious donors like Crawford Strategy, my hard work and tenacity will carry me through to achieve my personal aspirations.”
Kiara is working towards a graduation date of December 2016 and hopes to one day open her own marketing firm. In addition to her class schedule, she holds two jobs to help support her and her one-year old daughter while she is in school.
“Kiara is an incredible example of determination,” says Marion Crawford. “Her story has been an inspiration to our team and we look forward to seeing how she excels in her career.”
