Japan Holmes Scholarship

The Japan Holmes scholarship was created in memory of long-time STC Accounting Instructor Japan (Jay) Holmes, who passed away in 2020. The scholarship will provide $1,000 annually to an Accounting student, who has completed at least 15 hours of study with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. It will be awarded based solely on merit and does not take into account financial need. 

YES! I want to support Accounting students:

Scholarship funds may be used for tuition, fees, books, and pre-approved academic-related supplies purchased at the Savannah Technical College Campus Shop only. Scholarship funds will not be distributed directly to the student. This means students receiving refunds from the College will not be eligible for scholarships. Transient students are not eligible to receive STC Foundation scholarships.

Privately-funded scholarships are awarded based on criteria established by each of the donors. Any restrictions (age, race, gender, program of study, required hours, GPA, etc.) are included by specific request of the donor and are explicitly tied to the funds received for awards.

STC scholarship funds are managed by the STC Foundation, a 501 (c)3 organization whose sole purpose is to raise private funds to support the mission of the College. Gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
