On April 19th, the RPCC Executive Leadership Team had the opportunity to meet with the Scott family to discuss the Everett Scott Memorial Scholarship! This scholarship was established in memory of Everett Thomas Scott who died in a tragic accident at the early age of nineteen years. Dana and Alden Scott, Everett’s mother and brother, presented the RPCC Foundation an additional donation to supplement this endowed scholarship.

Everett, had always desired to work with his hands in a vocational trade. Upon graduation from Catholic High, he began working as an HVAC helper and was preparing to enroll at River Parishes Community College seeking an Associates or Technical Diploma in HVAC Technology. His dream was cut short but through the support of his family, friends, and Ms. Scott’s co-workers at BASF, Everett’s kindness, good-heartedness, and love of vocational work will live on through this scholarship.

Students registering for classes at RPCC for the Fall 2022 semester can apply for this and other scholarships at rpcc.awardspring.com

Scholarship applications are open until May 27th!

Donations to the Everett Scott Memorial Scholarship are accepted through the RPCC Foundation rpcc.edu/about-us/donation-form or the Wymar Federal Credit Union wymarfcu.com.
