Southeast Arkansas College has received a $60,000 donation from the Windgate Foundation to support student scholarships, the college announced.
SEARK said in a news release the donation would be directed toward students in need of financial assistance, which further supports the college’s commitment to providing “accessible, affordable education to the community.”
“Windgate Foundation is proud to be among your supporters and looks forward to hearing of your successes and accomplishments in the coming year,” the foundation said in the release.
