Providing Scholarship Opportunities

The need for post-secondary scholarships continues to rise as a result of more students with aspirations for additional education and rising costs of tuition. Providing scholarship opportunities to deserving, hardworking students is such an honorable way to give students a strong send off from their own community. Many students are encouraged to pursue a post-secondary opportunity by a simple gesture of giving. Help us support our students and their dreams!
