NFC Foundation Director Judy Lundell and Scholarship Coordinator Annabelle Scott worked closely with NFC Foundation Board of Directors members from Lafayette County, Elouise Green, Hal Thomas, and Jim Witt to visit the local high school and civic clubs. Together, they shared more information about scholarship opportunities and higher education options at North Florida College.

On Feb. 15, representatives from the North Florida College Financial Aid and Recruitment offices joined the NFC Foundation at a Senior night hosted by Lafayette High School to share more information about scholarships and learning opportunities. The NFC Foundation provided snacks, trivia, prizes, and instructions on how to apply for the NFC Foundation’s High School Senior Scholarship online at www.nfc.edu/foundation-giving/high-school-scholarships/ (deadline March 30).

During the event, two lucky Seniors, Ayden Smith and Jackson Ward won full two-year scholarships to NFC. The names were drawn at random by Elouise Green and Hal Thomas.
