Symons Estate Gift

The Seminole State College Educational Foundation recently received a $64,200 donation from Stanley and Inez Symons of Seminole upon the closing of their estate. The Foundation received an initial gift of $343,000 in December of 2017 from the couple who named the College as a beneficiary, along with several other local charities. The funds have been designated to support SSC academics and student scholarships SSC President Lana Reynolds (right) accepts the additional check from Estate Trustee Bill Thompson (left). President Reynolds said, “It is extremely touching to me that this couple believed enough in our mission and the impact we have through educating students to give this unsolicited donation.  The Symons’ developed a love and appreciation for SSC and were interested in helping students to achieve their academic dreams.  What a legacy to leave!”
