“Students at Brevard College benefit greatly from the continued generosity of residents of Connestee Falls,” said Brevard College President David Joyce. “We very much value our relationship with Connestee Falls and are grateful for the community’s long history of supporting higher education in our community,”

“Connestee Falls residents place a very high value on education and we are pleased to be able to help local students annually with these scholarship funds," said Bill Watson, last year’s co-chair of the Connestee Falls Scholarship Program and member of the Brevard College Board of Visitors.

Begun in 1987, the Connestee Falls Scholarship Program has benefited many talented and deserving students from Transylvania County. Brevard College alone has been the recipient of more than $100,000 since the inception of this program. These scholarships have provided academic support to more than 70 students during the past 25 years.

Chair of this year’s Connestee Falls Scholarship Program is Jody Winfield. She may be reached at cfscholarship@gmail.com.
