A Loudon County resale store has once again provided a grant to help award scholarships to Loudon County students enrolled at Roane State.
The grant for $20,000 was provided to Roane State Foundation earlier this summer and will be used to fund the equivalent of 20 scholarships at $1,000 each in the upcoming academic year. The Good Neighbors Shoppe also donated the same amount to the Foundation in 2023.
“We’re so grateful to the Good Neighbors Shoppe for its continued support of our mission to put students first,” said Roane State Foundation Executive Director Scott Niermann. “Helping economically disadvantaged students is a critical need in Loudon County, one of Tennessee’s fastest-growing areas. These scholarships can remove financial barriers so that students can achieve their goals.”
"We see the need in our area and know that access to higher education is so important to the success of our citizens,” said Leslie Capozzoli, volunteer and member of the Good Neighbors Shoppe Board of Directors. “We are proud to partner with Roane State to assist students in Loudon County and give back to our community.”
The all-volunteer, nonprofit thrift shop is located at 420 Leeper Parkway in Lenoir City and has been in existence for over 20 years. During that time, the shop has donated more than $7,000,000 to Loudon County organizations and individuals in need.
