The Greater Conroe Economic Development Council recently presented five Lone Star College-Conroe Center students with a $500 scholarship each. “The support from the GCEDC and our other civic partners makes a huge impact on LSC-Conroe Center and ultimately, the local community,” said Dr. Austin Lane, president of Lone Star College-Montgomery. “These scholarships go a long way toward helping these students complete the training and education needed to be successful in their careers.
Pictured from left to right are: Dr. Lane; students Brenda Perez, Jason Ely, Joshua Brimage, and Francisco Herrera; Jennifer Matthews, associate director of GCEDC; and Becky Duncan-Ramirez, director of LSC-Conroe Center. (The fifth recipient is Joseph Watkins, who is not pictured the photo.)
The five students were randomly selected from a drawing held during a community-wide job earlier this year held in partnership with LSC-Conroe Center, GCEDC, Lone Star Convention and Expo Center; and the Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Area Chamber of Commerce.
LSC-Montgomery is located at 3200 College Park Drive, one-half mile west of Interstate 45, between Conroe and The Woodlands. For more information about the college, call 936.273.7000, or visit www.LoneStar.edu/montgomery.
