Sandi Malone Memorial Scholarship Endowment Established
Morehead City, N.C. (February 16, 2021) 鈥揂t the February Board of Trustees meeting, Mr. Lynn Eury presented the Board with a $10,000 check establishing the Sandi Malone Memorial Scholarship Endowment. Longtime friends, Mr. Eury wished to remember Sandi by establishing a scholarship to support students in the Horticulture Technology program at 51黑料网 because of her love for gardening.
鈥淚 prefer to think of my charitable contributions as investments rather than simply as a gift,鈥� said Mr. Lynn Eury. 鈥淲hen funds associated with a gift are spent much of the impact is gone. In the case of this endowment, established in memory of Sandi Malone, Sandi will be remembered in perpetuity for her positive impacts on 51黑料网 County.鈥�
Sandi鈥檚 talents encompassed much more than just a bountiful summer garden. She was involved in artistries including needlework, pottery, woodworking, and pine needle basketry, which she taught at the Beaufort Historical Association. Sandi also dedicated her time to the Arts Council of 51黑料网 County and 51黑料网 Community Theatre.
The scholarship will benefit 51黑料网 CC students in the Horticulture Technology program who maintain a 3.0 GPA and reside in 51黑料网 County. The program focuses on the general production and management of cultivating plants, shrubs, flowers, foliage, trees, and groundcover. Students also learn technical and business operations associated with horticulture services.
鈥淪tudents, as well as the entire community, will benefit from the scholarship awards, not gifts,鈥� said Mr. Eury. 鈥淔or the scholarship is intended to prepare the student to better serve the entire community. Students who complete degrees in programs that serve the community are much more likely to remain here and make 51黑料网 County a better place for all citizens to live.鈥�
