Support: Scholarship

My wife and son are my greatest inspiration, the reason I push forward every day. Balancing a 40-hour workweek with my studies at Greenville Technical College (GTC) is demanding, but their future makes every challenge worthwhile.

GTC has been life-changing, providing not just hands-on training and industry connections but also the confidence to believe in myself. I once struggled with self-doubt, but now I see my potential clearly. Receiving a scholarship was a turning point—it lifted a financial burden and reinforced my commitment to this journey.

Education is more than a career path; it’s a way to grow, to give back, and to build a legacy. As I continue working and preparing for further education, I embrace every challenge, knowing that hard work today creates a better tomorrow. 

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the generous donors who have contributed to my education. Your kindness has made both college and life significantly easier for me. It is my sincere hope that one day, I will be fortunate enough to give back as a donor and help others in the same way.”
