Jenkins Family Scholarship

This scholarship is offered in honor of the families of Russell A. and Rodney A. Jenkins, which through their company, Baker Development Partnership, LLC, generously donated a gift of 6.3 acres in the Luray Landing development, to be used for the Luray-Page County Center building project.

Baker Development Partnership is made up of Russell Jenkins, and his son Rodney, the CEO and president, respectively, of Warrenton-based General Excavation Inc. The Jenkins’s live in Page County. “We think the college was a great thing for our county and our town,” Russell Jenkins says. “We need to keep it here.”

Rodney Jenkins says he and his father enjoy helping their community, and noted two General Excavation employees are currently enrolled in the commercial driver’s license course at LFCC’s Middletown campus. “We’re always looking for trades, whether it’s welding, or pipe fitting, or anything of that nature, so we were just hoping to help the people in the community, which would actually help the contractors in the area as well,” he says.

“With the expense of four years at a traditional university prohibitive to so many, it’s great to have LFCC in Page County,” says Rodney Jenkins’s wife, Karen (LFCC ’88).

The scholarship award may be applied toward tuition, fees and/or books and will be divided equally between the fall and spring semesters. To be eligible to receive the award for the spring semester, you must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.8 in the fall semester.
