Scholarships

Providing help for students can change their lives

Simply put, scholarships make it easier for students to attend college. Sometimes it's a one-time check, and sometimes, it's a renewable resource throughout the student's time at a college. But either way, the generosity of those in the community can change students' lives.

This type of philanthropy can honor someone's memory, help a student have more study time instead of having a job, reward academic achievement, support social issues, and more.
