New Durham Tech scholarship honors former Duke University student

A new scholarship opportunity is available for North Carolina residents who are enrolled at Durham Technical Community College. 

The North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF) is now accepting scholarship applications for the Raj Mehta Memorial Scholarship.

The scholarship was named after Raj Mehta, an engineering student at Duke University who passed in March 2020. 

The family of Raj Mahta established the scholarship as an opportunity to support students in North Carolina who are seeking to further their education. The scholarship will be awarded to one student annually. 

The award will provide a total of $1,000 to contribute towards the student’s fall and spring semester.

The scholarship is designed for students who exhibit perseverance, authenticity, leadership, and a desire to do good for others.

There are no GPA requirements, program preferences, or field of interest provisions. 

Scholarship applications will be accepted until Mon., July 19, 2021. 

Students interested in the scholarship opportunity can apply here.
