Coahoma Community College (CCC), a historically Black community college in Clarksdale, Mississippi, recently received a generous $10,000 scholarship donation from the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. during the sorority's annual State Cluster event.

The donation, presented to CCC President Dr. Valmadge Towner, will go directly towards supporting students at the institution and helping to expand access to higher education in the Mississippi Delta region.

Coahoma Community College, founded in 1949, has a long history of serving the educational needs of the Mississippi Delta region. As an HBCU, the institution has played a vital role in increasing access to higher education for Black students and fostering academic excellence. This latest scholarship donation from the esteemed Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. further solidifies CCC's reputation as a transformative force in the lives of its students and the surrounding community.

"We are incredibly grateful to the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for this generous scholarship donation," said Dr. Towner.



"This support will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, many of whom face significant financial barriers to pursuing their educational dreams. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Delta Sigma Theta and working together to uplift the HBCU community."

The scholarship donation was presented during the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. State Cluster event, which brought together members from across Mississippi to celebrate the sorority's rich legacy of service and community engagement.
