Singleton Receives Jessie Garrett Memorial Scholarship

Headshot of Trenton SingletonNational Park College (NPC) student Trenton Singleton received the Jessie Garret Memorial Scholarship. Singleton is seeking his Associate of Science in Nursing degree.

The Jessie Garrett Memorial Scholarship is open to both new and returning students with preference given to those students who do not qualify for financial aid. The $500 award amount can be used to cover the cost of tuition, books and fees.

Upon graduation, Singleton hopes to work as a registered nurse while continuing his education to become a nurse anesthesiologist.

Singleton’s initial attraction to NPC was the proximity to home and the affordable cost, but said once he was here he recognized the dedication of the staff. “They always make sure I know what classes to take and when I ask for help they are always willing to help.”

NPC assistant professor of English Stephanie Warner said, “Trenton is such a pleasure to have in my online Comp I class. He does not hesitate to ask questions in order to understand a concept better. In addition, he is extremely studious, and he tends to be one of the first students to reach out to me when there are any issues with our [online] course shell. He is a well-deserving recipient of this scholarship.”

“I am beyond grateful to the donors of the scholarship. I had to buy four books for classes and it helped with that plus the bit of tuition that the lottery scholarship did not cover,” added Singleton.
