Nearly 60 永利博彩 students will take center stage at a major scholarship event this 8月31日，周四上午10点在麦考利礼堂 at the 永利博彩 campus on Manchester Expressway. 永利博彩基金会（Columbus Technical college 基金会, Inc.）成立56年以来，首次举办一年一度的学者和捐赠者庆祝活动。 This year’s red-carpet style scholarship affair has been dubbed “摘星” 和 will take on the look 和 feel of the Academy Awards.

从护理和医疗保健到律师助理、商业、贸易/技术项目，甚至慈善事业，预计将发放9万美元的奖学金和资金援助。 到场的还有我们社区的几位捐助者； 他们的慷慨不会被忽视或不受赞赏。

“The donors come from all walks of life,” said David Fletcher, director of institutional advancement. “We have retired healthcare professionals, attorneys, individuals who worked in or represent the trade 和 technical skills arena, civic leaders, 和 more. 他们都看到了通过永利博彩建立和支持受过教育的劳动力的价值。 It is our hope that this event will kick start even more community interest in providing assistance for our students.”

在上一财政年度，永利博彩基金会提供：

• 12,225美元的教职员工补助金，用于专业发展和/或继续教育机会；
• 向可能因经济困难而无法继续在永利博彩就读的学生提供100 085美元的紧急补助金； 和
