Greenville
Graduates, a College
Funding Opportunity
December 6, 2011
If you are a Junior or
Senior in college and have graduated
from Greenville H.S., there is $1000 available to assist you in paying
for
college!
The Grace Burdge
Educational Fund is a very low interest
loan, repayable at 3% interest, beginning 6 months from the date you
graduate
from college (undergraduate degree), or from the date of withdrawal
from
college, whichever comes first.
As stated in the Last
Will of Miss Grace Burdge, this trust
was established “to be loaned by the Board of Education at a nominal
rate of
interest to any graduate of the local high school who has reached his
or her
Junior year in college and is in need of funds to complete their
education.” According
to a family member, Arline Light,
Grace and her brother were professional photographers, operating their
studio
on Broadway in Greenville. Miss Burdge resided on 3rd
Street in
Greenville, and had a life long interest in education.
Applications are
available by contacting Carla Surber, CPA,
Greenville Schools’ Treasurer, Memorial Hall, Greenville, 548-3185 x
725.
