POPLARVILLE, Miss. - Two Pearl River Community College alumni have made a commitment to change the lives of students for generations by donating and forming a $100,000 scholarship endowment. In the 1960s, Lucien and Connie Kilby Bourgeois met while attending PRCC. The duo has been married now for over five decades, but it was also the first step in Lucien’s professional career as a lawyer. Now, the couple is paying it forward. The Lucien and Connie Kilby Bourgeois Scholarship will provide financial assistance for a student from Bay St. Louis, Lucien’s hometown, or Poplarville, Connie’s hometown. The scholarship will be awarded to multiple students to help cover the cost of attendance. (Source: WDAM 06/29/22)
