The Jessie and Romie Griffin Scholarship Foundation focuses on helping with this need. The foundation provides scholarships for students who are committed in obtaining a post-secondary education. These will be students who are accepted or attending a 4-year college, community or technical college. The scholarship is also available for students who are accepted or attending vocational schools, trade schools, a certified training program, or any other non-traditional accredited educational programs.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jessie and Romie Griffin Scholarship Foundation was created out of a recognized need for students who needed financial support to attend college or obtain a certification.
