Wellspring awards $175,000 impact grant to support Smith Promise program; board authorizes agreement
Summary
The Wellspring Community Foundation will contribute $175,000 over two years as a one-third partner for the Smith Promise Program; the Smyth County Board authorized the county administrator to execute the grant agreement.
Staff told the board that the Wellspring Community Foundation approved a $175,000 impact grant to support the Smith Promise Program, representing a one-third partnership alongside the county and the Community Foundation. The commitment covers two additional years of the program's original five-year schedule and is intended to help students with community college costs at the two community colleges that serve the county.
Supervisors discussed program limits and eligibility—staff said award funds are aimed at the two community colleges serving Smyth County—and then unanimously approved a motion authorizing the county administrator to execute the agreement to accept the grant. Board members described the program as successful and said the grant will help sustain student access to community-college opportunities.
