The Columbia State Community College Foundation is establishing two grants and one scholarship to support the success of students fighting challenges brought on by COVID-19.
The three funds take into consideration challenges that students might encounter because of extenuating circumstances, including food insecurity and funding gaps such as tuition, fees and textbooks.
The initiatives were established with a contribution made by Columbia couple Constantine and Mary Vrailas.
Constantine Vrailas serves on the Columbia State Foundation Board.
The Vrailases have been supporters of the First Farmers Performance Series that hosts a variety of artists performing at the campus Cherry Theater, as well as the Pryor Art Gallery.
