Operation Scholar Support was started by Assistance League Greater Wilmington in 2015 to provide scholarships for underserved students who attend Cape Fear Community College and Brunswick Community College. The criteria for scholarships are: maintaining a minimum grade point average of 2.5, be a second-year student with documented financial need, be a resident of New Hanover, Brunswick or Pender counties, and preferably be a non-traditional female who is returning to school to obtain skills and employability. Our chapter provided two $1,000 scholarships to each community college in the fall of 2016 and another $1,000 scholarship to each community college in the spring of 2017.
Brunswick Community College was awarded $2,000 for scholarships
