A Durham Tech student has been awarded a scholarship that pays for the student’s finances in the Dental Program.
Krystal Spivey, a Durham Tech Student enrolled in the Dental Laboratory Technology Program, was awarded the William L. Rogers Educational Scholarship in May.
Spivey said in a statement, that she’s always had an eye on the medical field and has developed a passion for dental work after enrolling in the program last year.
Named in honor of Bill Rodgers, who served as the director of the Dental Laboratory Technology Program at Durham Tech for 26 years, the scholarship is awarded annually to a rising second-year student in the Dental Laboratory Technology Program.
The scholarship is intended to allow Spivey to focus on pursuing her career in the dental field without worrying about the financial burdens.
“I’ve always been a hard worker and I want to help prepare for my future. This scholarship really helps me financially. I don’t have to worry as much and I can focus on my studies and stay late after class if I need to.”
The Dental Program has produced award winning students in the past. Most recently three Durham Tech students, Emily Holt, Liyu An, and Noah Urlaub were awarded with the North Carolina Dental Laboratory Association Excellence Award.
All three students graduated in May.
