Report
Distinguished Benefactor 2015
Charlie & Helen Hampton honored for
support of scholarships & the arts
Charlie & Helen Hampton present a donation. The conversation corner
(pictured) in the Whatley Center foyer is one of their many contributions.
H
elen 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 retirement. Since moving back home to Northeast Texas in the mid
1990s, the Hamptons have contributed to scholarships and cultural events at Northeast Texas Community College. From helping
students achieve their dreams of a college education to sponsoring high-quality entertainment at the Whatley Center for the Performing 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 President 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, 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 College. The couple married in 1947.
The Hamptons spent the majority of their educational careers in Wichita Falls public schools. Helen taught special education 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 numerous other causes
in their hometown of
Naples.
“This is only the
fourth time the Distinguished Benefactor
Award has been given and I can’t think of
anyone more deserving than the Hamptons. It is our pleasure
to honor them for all
that they have done to
further the mission of
the NTCC Foundation,”
McCullough said.

How to Establish a Scholarship
Anyone can create a scholarship at NTCC. Our
gifts come from a variety of sources including individuals, families, businesses and civic clubs. Many are
given in honor or memory of friends, relatives, colleagues or community members. Most scholarships are established through the
NTCC Foundation and awarded annually by the scholarship 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.
Perpetual Scholarship:
To establish a perpetual scholarship a person must provide 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
Annual Scholarship:

be good for one year or renewed annually.
