Are you employed or unemployed in Surry or Yadkin County? Have you, your family or your community even been affected by the decline in the tobacco industry?
For the sixth year, Surry Community College received a Surry Skill-Up grant from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission for $20,000. Below is a list of opportunities provided to Surry and Yadkin county residents. Interested individuals must meet the federal TRIO income guidelines, and attend a Surry Skill-Up advising session.
The Surry Skill-Up grant provides financial assistance to Continuing Education students for tuition, fees and/or books.
