OAKWOOD - Gainesville State College received a $100,000 grant from a Wal-Mart Wednesday morning.

College officials say the money will be used to promote diversity in education.

The Wal-Mart State Giving Foundation says the money will provide tuition and book costs each semester for up to five students in the Early Childhood Education Program, per semester.

The grant will also provide for a recruiter who will focus on finding high-quality, diverse applicants.

The check was presented at a brief ceremony in the office of Dr. Martha Nesbitt, GSC president.
