Two women and a young man with curly hair are standing in a room with wooden flooring. The women are engaged in a conversation with the young man, who is holding a picture frame. One woman has glasses and is wearing a blue and white patterned top, while the other woman is in a green top. The man is dressed in a black shirt and jeans, with sneakers on the floor. The scene appears to be in an indoor setting with plain walls and minimal decor.

our impact

For generations, this program has helped students not only achieve their personal goals, but return to strengthen the communities that supported them. Their success inspires future students to believe in what is possible.

Serving New & Continuing Students

Scholarships are divided equally to support:

  • 50% graduating high school seniors

  • 50% continuing college students

Building Future Leaders

Many scholarship recipients have gone on to become:

  • Healthcare professionals

  • Attorneys

  • Educators

  • Community leaders

“What we did not have, we want for our children.”

Supporting Student Success

Each year, we award between $50,000 and $90,000 in scholarships to students continuing their education through college, university, vocational, and technical programs.

2026 Scholarship funding goal: $150,000

In 2025, the demand for scholarships far exceeded available resources:

  • We received 158 scholarship applications

  • We were only able to award 80 scholarships

That means nearly half of qualified, motivated students were unable to receive support—not because they didn’t earn it, but because funding was limited.

Behind every one of those numbers is a student making difficult decisions about whether college is still possible.

When we invest in students, we are investing in families, communities, and generations to come.
