Dream No Small Dreams:
PDCCC’s New GED Scholarship
A
ngela McQuillia’s 20-year dream is about to come true thanks to
her determination, hard work, and PDCCC’s new GED and Adult
Education Scholarship. Angela, a mother of four, dropped out of high
school and held many jobs over the years, learning
the value of hard work and the importance of an
education. After earning her GED, Angela enrolled at
PDCCC, studying for an associate degree in business
administration. Within just a few credit hours of
Angela McQuillia,
graduating, Angela was almost overwhelmed by the
Scholarship recipient
cost of tuition and supporting her family.
“Dr. Alan Harris and Dean Trina Jones told me not to give up,” said
Angela. “They turned to a brand new scholarship that helps recent GED
recipients overcome the financial barriers to higher education.” This
scholarship will enable Angela to graduate this May!
“I cried when they told me about the scholarship. All I needed was to
take one class,” Angela said.
“So many in our community dream about going to college,” says
PDCCC Interim President Dr. Bill Aiken. “We are in the business of
making dreams come true. Our counselors, deans and advisors have a
vested interest in making it happen.”
“This scholarship,” says Dr. Aiken, “gives deserving students a boost,
paying for classes, books, computers, transportation, whatever they need
to get an education.”

What’s in a Name? A WILL is good, but sometimes a
TOD is better.
A TOD can be your best way to create a legacy for Paul D. Camp
Community College Foundation that also works for your family.
TOD, or Transfer on Death,
transfers title to real property or
certain bank accounts effective
with the owner’s death. It can pass
property directly to a beneficiary,
without adding to the costs and
delays of probate.
An Example: Miriam is 70 years
old, and owns 200 acres in her own
name. Her will passes all of her assets
to her husband, but they decide that
these 200 acres should go directly to their two grown children. Miriam asks
her lawyer to draft a TOD deed transferring this acreage to her children,
and to record the deed properly. Through this deed, the children will take
full title once Miriam dies. Miriam can still sell the property, or revoke this
deed by recording a cancellation or a later TOD deed.
TOD can ease the transfer of bank accounts or real estate
in many situations:
• Miriam would like for her unmarried sister to inherit the land if she
is still living. A TOD deed could pass the land to Jane if she is living,
or to PDCCC Foundation as an alternative if she is not.
• A TOD is well suited for transfers to charitable organizations like
PDCCC Foundation, which, unlike individuals, is all but certain to be
in existence when the owner dies.
• Miriam can use the TOD deed to divide ownership among several
heirs. If PDCCC Foundation were one, then its share of the tract
could be divided and sold when the time comes.

your legacy for PDCCC, please contact Dr. Renee Felts, VP of
