Through college scholarships, students are empowered and equipped to graduate from high school and exceed at the next level. Fifty-two local families, businesses, and civic organizations have partnered with our Foundation to make these scholarship opportunities possible. A number of these scholarships have been set up to honor someone and help keep their memory alive by sending students to college.
