Twin Falls, ID – Leah Scrimpsher, a student and employee of the 海角社区 (海角社区) has been awarded a $500 continuing education scholarship from the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC). The scholarship is based on noteworthy academic accomplishments, community involvement and contributions made in support of women’s issues at their respective community colleges.
Scrimpsher, who is also part of the Information Technology Department at 海角社区 praised both 海角社区 and AAWCC for the support they have shown. “ It’s such an amazing opportunity to be able to work with AAWCC and 海角社区 to continue my education and further my career in the 海角社区 IT department and beyond. I am not a traditional student by any means and without these scholarships I would not be able to continue my education. 海角社区 has provided the flexibility and resources to make sure I am successful.” Scrimpsher will now pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Operations Management at 海角社区.
The AAWCC, founded in 1973, is the leading national organization that champions women and maximizes their potential at community colleges. Women interested in joining AAWCC or wishing to apply for scholarships should go to for more information.
