The Piedmont Community College (PCC) Foundation is pleased to announce a gift of $600,000 from the Lonnie and Carol Poole Family Foundation that will go towards funding Pacer Promise scholarships.
Founded in 2019 by the Lonnie and Carol Poole Family Foundation, Pacer Promise scholarships provide free tuition to PCC students enrolling in a minimum of 12 credits in a career and technical program with a grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Eligible programs include agribusiness, nursing and mechatronics, along with others.
“Piedmont Community College is incredibly grateful for the Lonnie & Carol Poole Family Foundation for their continued commitment to our students and our Pacer Promise Program,” Grayson Brann, Executive Director of the PCC Foundation said. “This generous $600,000 investment will allow us to continue providing scholarship support for three more years, helping remove financial barriers and giving more students the opportunity to pursue their educational goals.”
“Since 2019, the Poole Family Foundation has been a tremendous partner in helping us invest in the success of our students. We are deeply appreciative of their continued belief in the transformative power of education. Their generosity is not simply funding scholarships but helping create opportunities, changing lives, and strengthening the future of our communities”
