Klines endow ICC scholarship Tommy and Natalie Kline of Fulton are providing an opportunity for future Itawamba Community College students to achieve their dreams through their recent scholarship endowment. The Tommy and Natalie Kline Endowed Scholarship will fund full-tuition for any deserving full-time student with financial need. Tommy, an Aberdeen native, met Natalie, lifelong Fulton resident, at then-Itawamba Junior College in the spring of 1976. He returned to IJC to complete work on the associate’s degree in business, which he began a couple of years earlier when he was recruited by Tom Childs to play football at IJC.

Tommy also later drove from Aberdeen to the Tupelo Campus two nights a week for 18 months to complete the Heating and Air Conditioning program. Enter Natalie, who credits IJC for her significant background in science, especially chemistry, physics and zoology, all valuable for her degree and employment in the medical technology field.
