Sondra Harman always wanted to become a nurse but was concerned about money for her college tuition. As a senior at Bland High School last fall, she saw those worries disappear.
Harman is among 88 graduates from high schools in Wythe and Bland counties in 2007 who received full scholarships to Wytheville Community College. Their up to two years’ worth of tuition and fees are covered by the Wythe-Bland Community Foundation Scholarship Program.
“Now, I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to pay for my studies,” Harman stated Thursday morning at a celebration marking the establishment of the scholarship program. “I can put my energies on my studies.”
She spoke on behalf of the scholarship recipients in thanking the Wythe-Bland Community Foundation Scholarship Program board of directors. All the recipients were invited to the celebration and luncheon at the new Wytheville Community Center and many attended.
