NORTH EAST, Md. – The Cecil College Foundation continues to make opportunities available to individuals seeking to better their lives by creating the Greg and Danita Walker Scholarship. This scholarship will help cover the expenses for students interested in starting a new career or expanding their skills in their current industry through workforce programs at Cecil College.
This scholarship was established in 2021 in honor of Greg and Danita Walker, in acknowledgment of their perseverance through life’s many obstacles. Greg and Danita Walker, both hailing from Iowa, married and started a family at a young age, creating a wonderful life together. Some 40 years later, they continue to be an inspiration to their family.
Having become part of the North East community in 1981, Greg and Danita Walker raised four daughters and cherish their seven grandchildren. As a “master craftsman,” Greg Walker builds homes in the region with a love to hunt and fish in his spare time. Danita Walker, who recently retired, spends her time spoiling her grandchildren and cheering on the Baltimore Orioles.
