New Scholarship for Minority Business Students Launched at Sampson Community College

In March 2024, Sampson Community College (SCC) in Clinton, North Carolina, introduced a new scholarship for multicultural or minority students in business programs. Named The MCCOSC & T.B. Thomas Limited PTN Fund, it was established by the Multicultural Committee of Sampson County, Inc. (MCCOSC) and Dr. Ted Thomas, a retired dentist and community leader.

Dr. Thomas, who retired from dentistry in 2019 after 36 years, is now pursuing a PhD in Ministry and serves as the pastor at First Missionary Baptist Church in Warsaw. He is also involved with the NAACP and the United Way of Sampson County. Under his chairmanship, the MCCOSC, founded in 1987, supports local minority businesses and promotes diversity and inclusivity.

Ms. Patty Cherry, a board member of the MCCOSC with 50 years in the local pharmacy sector, also supports the scholarship. She and Dr. Thomas recently visited SCC to discuss the scholarship, highlighting their commitment to supporting multicultural students in business.
