Jordan
Ford, Ltd. of San Antonio has established a Founder's
Endowment Scholarship in the amount of $5,000 to Northeast
Lakeview College, the newest of the Alamo Community
Colleges. A named Founder's Scholarship Endowment
provides a perpetual source of income, managed by
the ACCD Foundation, from which the proceeds are then
awarded.
The
accrued funds from the Jordan Ford Founder's Scholarship
Endowment will be used to award scholarships to future
Northeast Lakeview College students. Located in northeast
Bexar County, Jordan Ford encourages strong corporate
citizenship and giving back to the community. "The
foundation of a strong college education goes beyond
brick and mortar," says Marc Cross, Jordan Ford General
Manager and Partner. "Contributing to a scholarship
fund offers us an opportunity to support higher education
and numerous college students for generations." The
first student scholarship from the proceeds of this
contribution will be awarded in Fall 2008.
"We
are delighted to be building relationships in the
community that will have a direct impact on our students,"
says Dr. Eric Reno, Northeast Lakeview College president.
"As Northeast Lakeview College becomes established,
contributions like this will not only provide institutional
history, but build futures for Northeast Lakeview
College students."
It
addition to the Founder's Endowment Scholarship, contributions
are also being accepted for Founder's Scholarships
and to the General Scholarship Fund. Other donation
opportunities, including the naming of buildings,
facilities, and smaller institutional items are also
available. Contact the Northeast Lakeview College
Office of College Development at (210) 590-5469 for
more information.
