EMPOWERING TOMORROW
Nearly fifty percent of the Foundation’s annual allocated funds go directly towards scholarships for deserving students. Many donors recognize the impact their generosity can have on future generations and seek to help bring to life the hopes and dreams of students by creating a scholarship fund.
Scholarship support makes a direct and visible impact on a student’s life. For some, “winning” a scholarship is their first experience with public recognition.
For others, receiving a scholarship is an additional incentive to study hard and truly earn the assistance they’ve been given.
Each year the Foundation hosts a luncheon where student scholarship recipients have the opportunity to meet their benefactors. The day is always full of chatter, with students sharing stories of their lives and families as well as their experiences in the classroom, and benefactors contributing advice, excitement, and encouragement. It is a wonderfully rewarding exchange.
