Scholarship Program

Each year the Foundation awards over $1,250,000 in scholarships to assist students in building a better future. Gifts from faculty and staff, committed citizens and civic organizations, businesses and foundations help many students lacking financial resources to achieve their educational and career goals.

Your contribution encourages student commitment to education and dedication to self-improvement.
Offers hope and opportunity to students who lack the resources to attain their goals.
Strengthens the workforce by increasing the number of qualified individuals in the job market.
Thousands of deserving students need financial support to attend and complete college. Contributions from community members like you help these students reach their education and career goals.
Your gift makes a difference well beyond the classroom!
