The flooring products company promotes higher education to high school students in Garland.
DALLAS, TX, May 20, 2010 /Texas PR News/ -- Dobson's Flooring America has teamed up with the Garland Rotary Club to provide six $1,000 scholarships for deserving high school seniors in Garland Independent School District. Awards will be announced during the annual awards day ceremonies at each of the recipients' high schools.
"Having a college education is very critical to the success of not only individuals, but for the future of our community," said Suzanne Brown, president of Dobson Floors. "This scholarship program is our way of giving back to our community while promoting the importance of higher education."
The scholarship program is geared toward Garland high school students who demonstrate financial need and complete application and essay requirements. Finalists are interviewed by Garland Rotary board members for final award determinations.
Each year, the Garland Rotary provides high school students with the scholarship opportunity. Dobson's Flooring America is privileged to be recognized as co-grantor for each of the six scholarships that will be awarded.
"The cost of a college education can be overwhelming and Dobson's Floors is proud to provide this assistance to those in our community," Brown said.
