Payson Book Festival Donates to Friends of Rim Country GCC to Support Student Scholarships in Payson
At the Friends of Rim Country GCC March meeting, Ruth Fleming presented a $500 check on behalf of the Payson Book Festival. The donation is just one of the many ways that the Payson Book Festival supports local education and literacy in Rim Country. Their donation will go directly to scholarship for students pursuing a degree at EAC Payson Campus
The Friends of Rim Country GCC Board has supported Payson Campus students since 2013. Despite the separation between the Gila County Provisional Community College District and Eastern Arizona College, there are still many degree seeking students at the Payson Campus in need of financial assistance. Friends of Rim Country GCC has already had 12 students apply for their 2024-2025 scholarship. The donation from the Payson Book Festival will go to support one of these applicants.
The Friends of Rim Country GCC Board expressed great gratitude to the Payson Book Festival for their donation. The Payson Book Festival raises money through their annual Book Festival. You can support their organization by attending the Book Festival or being a Festival sponsor.
The Payson Book Festival is July 13th, 2024 at the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino. More information is available on their website, www.paysonbookfestival.org.
