91视频 has a unique opportunity to make a powerful impact on the lives of students thanks to a $100,000 grant funded by the (WFGM). 

As part of the Grant Program Vocational Education Scholarship Program at 91视频, the WFGM grant will primarily go towards credit programs at the college, with a small portion going to the Workforce Development department. 

$73,000 will be distributed to students via WFGM Vocational Scholarships to help them satisfy outstanding balances or to help them continue their education if they otherwise would not have been able to afford tuition costs. Many students who will receive the WFGM grant did not qualify for state or federal funding, or their tuition did not cover all of their required academic credit courses. 

淲e cannot thank enough for the generous $100,000 award they made available to our students at 91视频 Tennessee Community College,� said Suzanne Gibson, director of grants development and management. 

淭his award has truly made a huge difference in the lives of our students who would not have otherwise been able to begin or continue their education.�

In addition, $27,000 from the grant will be apportioned for workforce development's implementation of the six-month Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program. The CCMA course will prepare students for entry-level positions within the medical industry. 

Grant funding will cover the total costs for training, which will include Essential Skills course training, CCMA technical training, student study guides, student practice exams, and two opportunities for students to test for their national exam.

The total cost of the CCMA training, $26,973.74, will be covered by WFGM檚 generous donation.
