The Northeast Alabama Community College (NACC) Foundation is proud to announce a new memorial scholarship. The Hilda Thornbury Fears and Carol McKown Fears Memorial Teacher Scholarship will be available to current Northeast students who are also graduates of Sylvania High School. Established by Captain John A. Fears, USN (Ret.) and Diane R. Fears, HMCM, USNR (Ret.), this scholarship donation will enable him to honor his mother and late wife while also fulfilling his desire to give back to his alma mater (Sylvania High School) approaching the 60th anniversary of his high school graduation. Fears and his late wife, Carol McKown Fears, had also discussed giving back to Northeast for many years.
