CLARKESVILLE — The North Georgia Technical College Foundation recently received a check for $5,000 from detective agency Phillips and Associates Inc. in Toccoa, Ga., to be used for five $1,000 scholarships for students in the Criminal Justice Program at North Georgia Technical College.
“The Foundation is thrilled to receive this donation to help deserving students with documented financial need complete their Criminal Justice Program, graduate and advance in their chosen career,” said NGTC Director of Institutional Advancement Cynthia Brown. “Rick and Letha Phillips grew up in this area, and we appreciate their generosity and investment in our students and future of our community.”

We appreciate their generosity and look forward to helping our students change their lives and the future of our communities.”
