CONSORTIUM FOR HIGHER EDUCATION ANNOUNCES

EMPLOYEE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Tuscaloosa Consortium for Higher Education (TCHE), an organization composed of The University of Alabama, Stillman College and Shelton State Community College, has announced the creation of the Employee Scholarship Program. The TCHE Scholarship Program is an effort to encourage employees at member institutions to pursue continuing education opportunities at participating Consortium schools.

“These scholarships are a wonderful opportunity for Shelton State employees to continue their education and expand their skills,” said Dean Camille Cochrane who represents Shelton State Community College in the Consortium.

Scholarships equaling $250 per semester will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis until available funds are exhausted. The TCHE Scholarship application process began in January and will continue through March 2004. Shelton State employees interested in obtaining more information about this scholarship opportunity should contact Dean Camille Cochrane at 391-2284 or ccochrane@sheltonstate.edu or by visiting the TCHE website at consortium.ua.edu.
