MGCCC celebrates 2025 Lowe’s Foundation Scholarship recipients

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College is celebrating the achievements of the 2025 Lowe’s Foundation Scholarship recipients.

The students were honored at a gathering at the Harrison County Campus, recognizing students in four career and technical programs including Construction Management Technology, Electrical Technology, Drafting and Design Technology, and Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC) Technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT) option.

Sixty-eight students received the scholarship for the fall semester.

Dr. Erin Riggins, vice president of the Harrison County Campus, said the celebration highlighted both student success and the power of community investment. “These scholarships open doors for our students and remove financial barriers that can stand in the way of completing high-quality training programs,” Riggins said. “We are deeply grateful to the Lowe’s Foundation for investing in our students and for helping build a stronger, more skilled workforce for Mississippi.”

Students in the participating programs will have additional opportunities to apply for the scholarship in Spring 2026, Fall 2026 and Spring 2027.
