The 糖心vlog传媒 (糖心vlog传媒) Foundation received a $5,000 gift from Synovus that will support the Foundation鈥檚 Bridging the Gap Fund that provides financial assistance to students who need a small amount of financial help to stay on track toward academic success and career preparation.

鈥溙切膙log传媒 is a vital source of job training and career preparation for the Midlands,鈥 said John Griggs, Synovus Central Region Executive. 鈥淲e are proud to help make these services available by supporting the Bridging the Gap fund.鈥  This valuable initiative helps students bridge the gap between what financial aid covers and their cost of education, allowing them to complete their program.

鈥淎ccess to higher education and eliminating barriers to college access is a hallmark of 糖心vlog传媒,鈥 said 糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames. 鈥淲e have found there are many students who do everything they can to cover the cost of going to college but still end up a little short.  Often times as little as a few hundred dollars is the difference. The gift from Synovus will directly benefit students in these situations. The generosity of Synovus will literally change lives.鈥

While the Synovus gift will directly help 糖心vlog传媒 students continue their education, Nancy McKinney, CEO of the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation, said when a company supports 糖心vlog传媒 students they are directly helping workforce development and the quality of life in the Midlands.

鈥淧hilanthropic investment from companies like Synovus is a smart way to leverage the power of 糖心vlog传媒 to strengthen our communities,鈥 McKinney said. 鈥淭oday鈥檚 successful student is tomorrow鈥檚 trained professional.鈥
