NEWBERRY, S.C. (courtesy newberry.edu) — Newberry College has entered a historic new partnership with the South Carolina Army National Guard. The agreement was announced May 1 in a ceremony at Holland Hall on the college campus.
The enhanced partnership includes a $1,000 scholarship, acceptance of all tuition assistance from the South Carolina Army National Guard, and an on-campus liaison for students who are members of the guard.
“Every time I see a man or a woman in uniform, I know that that person has a calling, and that calling is one of the most selfless callings you could have. And that is to dedicate your life to protecting others,” said Newberry College President Maurice Scherrens. “We want to extend to all those who belong to the South Carolina Army National Guard a scholarship on top of the scholarships that we offer to all other incoming students.”
“We think that you’ll add an element to the college, but more than anything else, it’s a way to, in a very, very small way, pay it forward to you for all that you’ve done, and all that your predecessors have done over the years, to keep places like this safe,” added Scherrens.
