Pueblo Community College 2015-16 Scholarship Luncheon
The Pueblo Community College Foundation hosted its annual Scholarship Luncheon on Tuesday in the Fortino Ballroom on the PCC Campus.
“This truly is a wonderful event for both our donors and our students,” explained Barbara Duff of the PCCF Scholarship committee. “The event puts a face to the name of those students who have qualified for our scholarship grant awards.”
Michele Barnes, recipient of the Helen K and Arthur E Johnson Foundation Scholarship and the Swerdfeger Family Scholarship, spoke about her journey from being a high school dropout who didn’t want to get involved in anything, to her current status as a leader and stellar student. “I guess that staying under the radar thing didn’t work for me,” she quipped, as she spoke of her many accomplishments and successes fostered by PCC.
The Pueblo Community College Foundation annually awards over $360,000 in scholarship awards to approximately 150 PCC students who are seeking higher education at any one of the four PCC campuses (Pueblo, Canon City, Durango, and Mancos/Cortez).
