Gifts from alumni, employees, committed citizens, corporations and foundations help many students lacking financial resources to achieve their educational and career goals. The Foundation also actively seeks support for students who demonstrate outstanding academic potential.

The gift of a scholarship is much more than tuition, fees and books; it is the gift of education! 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.
• Transforms the lives of recipients, enhances the lives of their families and contributes to the quality of life in our community.

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.
