The Fred Lee Hoffman Endowed Scholarship

This fund was established in memory of Mr. Fred Lee Hoffman, by his nephews Alan G. Cloninger and Thomas R. Cloninger, and his niece Paula C. Houser. Mr. Hoffman was an avid third-generation farmer who loved sharing the bounty of his harvest with many. Students pursing any course of study leading to an Associate Degree may be considered with preference given to those in Business and Information Technology programs or Engineering and Industrial Technology programs. Scholarships only awarded to Lincoln county residents. Preference is to be given to students who have graduated from West Lincoln High School within the last five years with a minimum GPA of 2.5 or better. If there are no applicants from West Lincoln HS, applicants from Lincoln High School may also be considered. In order for current Gaston College students to be considered, they must meet the above criteria and have been enrolled in Gaston College for a minimum of 24 credit hours if a full-time student, or 12 hours if a part-time student, and have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.5.
