2nd Chance MS

Dickie Scruggs knows first-hand what it means to get a second chance. As a federal inmate, he got his second chance by helping his fellow inmates prepare for the high school equivalency diploma. Then, and since his release, Scruggs has been working to formulate a plan to continue his commitment to help adult learners get the education they missed the first time around. His mission is to help Mississippi's community college provide a second chance to thousands of struggling Mississippians who lack a skill certification or high school diploma. By raising awareness and funds, Scruggs will secure the resources necessary to provide a second chance for adult learners. Funds raised can be used to enhance instruction, pay testing and skill certification costs and provide supplemental support for adult learners who face barriers to their success....giving them a second chance, one step at a time.
