Distinguished Benefactor 2015Charlie & Helen Hampton honored for

support of scholarships & the arts

Helen Hampton and her late husband Charlie dedicated their entire professional careers to education, so it only made sense that they would continue to do so in re-

tirement. Since moving back home to Northeast Texas in the mid 1990s, the Hamptons have contributed to scholarships and cul-tural events at Northeast Texas Community College. From helping students achieve their dreams of a college education to sponsor-ing high-quality entertainment at the Whatley Center for the Per-forming Arts, the Hamptons are among the college’s most prolific donors. Their selfless generosity has led to them being selected for the NTCC Foundation’s Distinguished Benefactor Award.

“The Hamptons are an excellent example of people paying forward generosity,” Dr. Jonathan McCullough, NTCC Vice Pres-ident for Advancement, said. “Both Charlie and Helen worked hard for many years as educators, and they saw the importance of investing in future generations. By providing scholarships, they have drastically impacted the lives of countless students.”

Helen graduated from Winfield, where she finished first in her class in 1946. Her mother made a deal with her in eighth grade - if she could graduate at the top of her class, her family would make sure she had the opportunity to go to college. Thanks to a scholarship, Helen was able to fulfill her goal of completing her college education. She received both bachelors and masters degrees from East Texas State Teacher’s College (now Texas A&M University - Commerce).

“I wouldn’t have been able to go to college if I hadn’t received a scholarship,” Helen said. “It is important for young people to have opportunities, and I see giving scholarships as a way to give back.”

Charlie & Helen Hampton present a donation. The conversation corner (pictured) in the Whatley Center foyer is one of their many contributions.

Charlie, who passed away this March at the age of 96, also received bachelors and masters degrees - but his educational journey was interrupted by WWII. He started at East Texas State Teachers College before being drafted into the Army. During his service in the Pacific, he earned numerous commendations and medals, including a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Upon returning home from the service, Charlie received his Bachelor of Science degree from East Texas State Teachers College and a Masters of Arts degree from Sam Houston State Teachers Col-lege. The couple married in 1947.

The Hamptons spent the majority of their educational ca-reers in Wichita Falls public schools. Helen taught special educa-tion in elementary school and Charlie taught elementary school before retiring as a principal. During summers and on holidays, both Charlie and Helen worked retail jobs at JCPenney and Stein’s. After about 50 years in education, the Hamptons moved back home to Naples to enjoy their retirement years.

“I am just sorry Charlie isn’t here to receive this award with me. He had a very generous and giving spirit,” Helen said.

In addition to their contributions to NTCC, the Hamptons have supported nu-merous other causes in their hometown of Naples.

“This is only the fourth time the Dis-tinguished Benefactor Award has been giv-en and I can’t think of anyone more deserv-ing than the Hamp-tons. It is our pleasure to honor them for all that they have done to further the mission of the NTCC Foundation,” McCullough said.

Those interested in learning about giv-ing opportunities with the NTCC Foundation should contact Mc-Cullough at 903-434-8115.

Helen Hampton helped celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Wesley

Fellowship student center.

Anyone can create a scholarship at NTCC. Our gifts come from a variety of sources including individ-uals, families, businesses and civic clubs. Many are given in honor or memory of friends, relatives, col-leagues or community members. Most scholarships are established through the NTCC Foundation and awarded annually by the schol-arship committee. In addition to the Foundation general scholarship fund, there are three types of scholarships: an annual scholarship, a perpetual scholarship, and an endowed scholarship.

Annual Scholarship:To establish an annual scholarship a person must pro-vide a gift of at least $500. This named scholarship can be good for one year or renewed annually.

Perpetual Scholarship:To establish a perpetual scholarship a person must pro-vide a gift of at least $10,000. The funds received from the earnings on the investment will be awarded toward the cost of tuition, fees, and/or books. This named scholarship will remain in effect as long as the College continues to exist.

Endowed Scholarship: To fully endow a scholarship a person must provide a gift of at least $25,000. The funds received from the earnings on the investment will be used to pay for a full scholarship (tuition, fees, and books) for one student each year. This named scholarship will remain in effect as long as the College exists.

How to Establish a Scholarship
