MCCC AWARDS THE DREW REEVES MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

MONROE, Mich. – Monroe County Community College has awarded the Drew Reeves Memorial Scholarship to Ryan M. Wardell of Monroe.  The $850 award can be used for tuition, fees and books.

Full-time students majoring in automotive engineering are eligible for this scholarship, which was founded by family, friends, colleagues of Drew Reeves in honor of the emphasis he put on training and education in the technical area.

Reeves taught automotive technology for 15 years at MCCC before succumbing to leukemia.  He believed that education was important, and teaching technical skills enabled people to work with their hands, think with their minds and interact with other people and their property with respect.
