The Black Hawk College East Foundation honored both those who gave and those who received at its 2019 Scholarship Recognition Banquet.
Students shared their future plans and how receiving a scholarship has assisted them in their education.
Scholarship benefactor Dan Hoge talked about education being an on-going process. “It’s never really over, your roles just change,” he said.
“Students, we wish you all success in your educational journeys,” said Danielle Williams, the foundation’s executive director.
“Benefactors, the impact you make on the lives of our students cannot be appreciated enough,” she said. “Thank you all!”
The Black Hawk College East Foundation awarded 100 scholarships totaling $96,702 to 70 East Campus students. With additional scholarships being awarded in the spring, the foundation expects to exceed $110,000 in scholarship support for the 2019-20 academic year.
