GRANVILLE COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SCHOLARSHIP UPGRADE

Leon Turner, right, executive director of the Granville County Economic Development Commission, presents $6,000 to Vance-Granville Community College President Randy Parker to upgrade a Granville Industrial & Business Club (GIBC) Academic Achievement scholarship at VGCC to a Presidential Merit Award. This is one of six scholarships endowed at VGCC by the GIBC, and it is named in honor of retired EDC secretary Betty S. Hicks. Presidential Merit Award recipients receive a $1,000 scholarship, presented each fall. GIBC raised the funds for the scholarships at its annual golf tournament held in August.
