Ozarka College has had the pleasure of working with the Stone County Community Resource Council (SCCRC), based out of Mountain View, Arkansas, for the past several years. The SCCRC is a nonprofit corporation operated by volunteers, where they accept donated items at The Dorcas House thrift store and sell those items $2.00 per bag. In turn, the SCCRC has donated a total of $110,000 to Ozarka College; $90,000 has been designated for scholarships and $20,000 for College improvements.  

The $90,000 in scholarship donations from SCCRC created nine endowed scholarships which have been awarded to students in $500 increments. By awarding funds in this manner, countless students have been, and will continue to be, supported by these generous donations. The SCCRC is committed to investing in the lives of their scholarship recipients, and they firmly believe that education is the key to a brighter and more successful future.

This year's recipients are as follows: Destiny Butler, Randy Layman, Whitney Mendoza, Sarah Reynoso, Stephony Trantham, Shelby Turner, Summer Waddles, Sarah Werb, and Nathan Wilson
