These scholarships will facilitate dreams being realized and will have a positive impact on our community for generations to come.”
“We appreciate the strong partnership between the city of Athens and Trinity Valley Community College and the benefits it provides to our students and the Athens community by offering students to Earn College Football Scholarships,” added TVCC President Dr. Jerry King.
