The Icing On The Cake BNC Scholarship Opportunities

Great on campus meeting with TTC President Mary Thornley discussing Bridge North Charleston’s scholarship opportunities. Requirements: high school diploma or GED, must be a resident of Accabee or Hub Village, for all ages with no grade requirements.

But the icing on the cake, President Thornley is so excited about BNC’s vision that she offered to be an unpaid consultant! Having Thornley on our team is HUGE! And Helen Sughrue, Executive Assistant for TTC President’s Office, is the go-to person for our applicants! Paperwork can feel daunting, but Helen will walk our applicants through it all!

Learning about all that TTC has to offer was impressive. There are nine-week certification programs and two-year associate degree programs … but there’s so much more with sprinkles on top, BNC’s scholarship applies to all of it.
