The Robert P. Holding Foundation donated $30,000 to the Fayetteville Technical Community College Foundation to create the First Citizens Bank Endowed Scholarship.

“The Robert P. Holding Foundation has a strong sense of respect and gratitude for the work of Fayetteville Tech and the programs it offers to enhance the lives of the citizens of North Carolina,” said Hank Dunbar, manager of charitable and philanthropic services at First Citizens Bank.

FTCC Foundation manages more than 200 endowments and other funds that benefit students, academic programs, athletics, and facilities at FTCC.
