Scholarship Programs
It is with great pride that HTC can serve Horry County Schools as a Partner in Education. Through our affiliations in the Partners in Education program with our county's schools, HTC can provide valuable and lasting contributions for students and teachers as well as for businesses and the rest of the community.
FRS Scholarship Program |
The Foundation for Rural Service was established in 1994 and, through its partnership with the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA), promotes, educates and advocates to the public, rural telecommunications issues in order to sustain and enhance the quality of life within communities throughout rural America. In keeping with its mission, furthering the education of rural youth is a primary focus of the foundations. HTC, is a member of NTCA and is proud to support FRS in this worthy endeavor.
As your telecommunications service provider, it is our pleasure to offer this national scholarship program to the students in our local schools. Should a student from our service area be selected to receive one of the 30 scholarships ($2,000 each), HTC will contribute an additional $500 to the scholarship, bringing the total one-time scholarship award to $2,500. Please note that preference will be given to students expressing an interest to return to a rural area to work following graduation.
In addition, FRS has announced the creation of four new scholarships, funded by Manny and Leo Staurulakis, of John Staurulakis, Inc. (JSI), in honor of their parents, John and Chresanthe Staurulakis and to celebrate 50 years of service to the rural telephone industry. The FRS Staurulakis Family Scholarships will provide four $5,000 awards and will give preference to students with an interest in science, math, medicine, or engineering. These new scholarships will build on the existing FRS College Scholarship Program.
Letters and applications have been distributed to high school guidance counselors in Horry County. Although the form indicates that completed applications should be mailed directly to the FRS, we are asking that all completed applications be returned to the high school guidance counselor or Nicole Hyman, HTC, PO Box 1820, Conway, SC 29526. It will then be our responsibility to complete the applications with all required signatures and forward them to FRS by the March 1 deadline.
