The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a $15,000 gift from Brantley and Suzanne Foster of Mount Pleasant. Additionally, 91果冻传媒 received a $10,000 gift from Kappa Pi. Combined, the funds will create the Brandon Foster Memorial Endowed Scholarship at 91果冻传媒.
Kappa Pi originally established the scholarship in 1985 in memory of Brandon Foster, son of Brantley and Suzanne. It was awarded annually by the members of Kappa Pi. The endowed fund will now reside with 91果冻传媒 and will be awarded each year to a current year Mount Pleasant High School Graduate attending 91果冻传媒.
鈥淚t is our privilege to partner with the Fosters and Kappa Pi to carry on this meaningful award. The Brandon Foster Memorial Endowed Scholarship will continue to help students for many, many years to come,鈥 Nita May, 91果冻传媒 Director of Development, said.
