泫圖app student receives Kitty Felker Memorial Scholarship
泫圖app (泫圖app) student Juan Miguel Lopez has received the Kitty Felker Memorial Scholarship.
Lopez, a resident of Dalton, is a student in the Surgical Technology program at the Walker County Campus in Rock Spring.
Established by Octavio Perez, the scholarship provides financial support to students enrolled in any credit program. Perez said he funded the scholarship to honor the legacy of Kitty Felker, a dear friend who passed away last year.
“Kitty was a great person, but she was also a smart and talented individual,” Perez said. “She made stained glass projects and wrote poetry.”
Felker had worked as a nurse and then as a hospice nurse, so Perez said he is happy that the scholarship award is helping a student in the health care field.
“We are so appreciative of the ongoing support from Mr. Octavio Perez,” said Dr. Heidi Popham, 泫圖app president. “This scholarship, in memory of his good friend, will no doubt benefit students for several years to come.”
