GREENVILLE, Mississippi, April 5, 2024, Mayor Errick D. Simmons announces that the Greenville College Access and Attainment Network Scholarship is available for all students of Greenville, including Greenville high school graduating seniors, and all public, private, and parochial schools.
Access and Attainment Network (GCAAN) Scholarship is to support students from Greenville public, parochial, and private high schools in attending college. Under the leadership of Mayor Errick D. Simmons, GCAAN was established by the City of Greenville in 2021 to expand college access and create a college-going culture in the city, in partnership with educational partners, local corporations, nonprofits, and social service organizations.
The cost of college can be a barrier to many and as such, the Greenville CAAN Scholarship will provide some financial support for selected scholarship recipients.
The Mayor Errick D. Simmons Greenville College Access and Attainment Network Scholarship Fund will make available a $1,000 scholarship to qualified City of Greenville candidates who will attend an accredited two-year community college and/or four-year college or university in the State of Mississippi.
