Downriver Career Technical Consortium

The John "Corky" Hancock Memorial Scholarship was founded in 2015 to perpetuate the memory of a Downriver businessman and philanthropist who believed hard work should be recognized and rewarded. His kindness and generosity lead to the creation of the Corky Hancock Memorial Scholarship, which is given annually to DCTC students who wish to further their education in the skilled trades. It can be applied to post-secondary institutions, apprenticeships or other highly specialized post-secondary technical education.
