HTC 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.

KEY Scholarships

HTC, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union, and 104.9 BOB FM are partnering to offer two scholarship awards to graduating high school seniors within Horry, Georgetown, Marion, Williamsburg, and the southern part of Florence County. Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to rising college freshman attending either Coastal Carolina University or Francis Marion University.

The scholarships may be renewed for an additional three years in the amount of $500 per year should the award recipients continue to meet qualifying criteria. The total scholarship amount each student may receive over a four-year period is $2,500.

HTC, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union, and 104.9 BOB FM are partnering to deliver this scholarship opportunity to local students because we realize that education is key to unlocking a student's potential.

2009 KEY Scholarship Winners

For the third year, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union, Horry Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (HTC) and 104.9 BOB FM chose two graduating high school seniors to win $1,000 each in scholarship awards. High school seniors from Horry, Georgetown, Marion, Williamsburg, and the southern part of Florence County planning to attend either Coastal Carolina University or Francis Marion University were encouraged to apply.

The 2009 KEY Scholarship award winners are: Conway High School graduate Cassandra Faulkner of Conway, SC and Carolina Forest High School graduate Andrew Herring of Myrtle Beach, SC. Faulkner plans to attend Francis Marion University and major in Accounting while Herring plans to attend Coastal Carolina University and play football.

"These exceptional students have juggled academics, part-time jobs and extracurricular or volunteer activities successfully," explained Nicole Hyman, HTC Senior Marketing Coordinator.

Each winner receives $1,000 applied to the cost of first-year tuition. The scholarships may be renewed for an additional three years in the amount of $500 per year should the recipients continue to meet qualifying criteria, which include maintaining a 3.00 GPA and full-time enrollment at either CCU or FMU.

Application packets were distributed to high school guidance counselors and the scholarship opportunities were advertised on BOB FM and on all partners' websites. The 2009 award recipients were scored as most qualified for the KEY Scholarship based on completed application, academics, school and/or community involvement, household income, and school choice.

According to Angelia Johnson, Carolina Trust VP Marketing, "These awards are well deserved, and we're proud of all the applicants who are planning to continue their education in an effort to achieve personal and professional goals."
