The Triangle North Healthcare Foundation recently continued its partnership with Vance-Granville Community College by presenting a $25,000 donation to create a Presidential Scholar Award scholarship for VGCC students.
As a result of this donation to The VGCC Foundation, a $1,250 scholarship will be awarded to a student each year, beginning with the Fall 2025 semester. This is the fifth scholarship that the Triangle North Healthcare Foundation has established at VGCC to support a well-educated healthcare workforce.
The Triangle North Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit regional grant-making organization that supports and invests in initiatives that result in immediate and long-term improvement in the health status of the region. The organization focuses on Vance, Warren, Franklin, and Granville counties, the same four counties served by VGCC. It was established in 2011 as the successor to the Maria Parham Healthcare Foundation.
“We are immensely grateful for the generosity of the Triangle North Healthcare Foundation,” said Tanya Weary, VGCCF Executive Director. “This newly created scholarship will make a significant impact on the lives of students by enabling them to pursue their educational dreams at Vance-Granville Community College.”
