The Holmes Community College Development Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of the CF Industries Foundation Scholarship to benefit Holmes Community College students in industry-related fields.
“CF Industries Foundation is passionate about supporting charitable initiatives in local communities,” CF Industries Senior Director of Corporate Communications Chris Close said. “Given its strong presence and impact in Holmes and the surrounding counties, the CF Industries Foundation explored a scholarship program with Holmes Community College, and starting this Fall two students will be selected by the Holmes Community College Development Foundation to be recipients of the CF Industries Foundation Scholarship.”
The CF Industries Foundation Scholarship will help prepare students for careers in high-demand fields and enable them to achieve both their educational and occupational goals. The scholarship will focus on students enrolled in the following programs, among others: Agricultural Sciences, Industrial Engineering Management Technology, Industrial Maintenance Technology, and Industrial Technology. Students should demonstrate a financial need and be from a Delta County to include the counties of Madison and Hinds. Freshman students must have a minimum high school GPA of 2.5 and sophomores must maintain a GPA of 2.0.
CF Industries Foundation was established by its corporate founder, CF Industries, in late 2022 and focuses on environmental sustainability, healthy food access, STEM education and awareness and local community advancement.
