The SWEPCO Foundation is donating $25,000 to the Texarkana College Foundation to establish an endowed scholarship fund for local students.

The check was presented Wednesday during a ceremony at the college’s McCulloch Industrial Technology Building.

The donation builds on a long-standing partnership between SWEPCO and Texarkana College, with previous support for workforce development, aviation education, scholarships and the campus food pantry.
