“CRC is pleased to once again recognize graduating students in communities in which we work,” said Chris Holt, CRC’s president and CEO. “The hard work and dedication of all of our scholarship applicants is to be commended. CRC’s management and staff wish them the best in their continuing education.”
In November 2012, students in the communities in which CRC has offices—Austin, Dunlap, Tenn., and Abilene, Texas—as well as family members of CRC employees who were graduating from high school were invited to apply for a 2013 CRC scholarship. The scholarship recipients were selected in May.
