Name a scholarship fund and support deserving undergraduate or graduate students attending vocational school, two-year colleges, or four-year universities.

You name your fund and may establish preferred criteria for student recipients. Each May, you will receive a letter describing the student(s) we have selected for your scholarship award, keeping you closely tied to the impact of your gift.

Donor Spotlight: Saxon Family

“Our family has supported college scholarships for local students since our children were in preschool. My wife Jo and I feel great about this use of our charitable dollars, with 100% of our contributions going to support students. Also through our involvement, our children Hope and Griffin have had the chance to learn about the hard work, the money and the sacrifices it takes for most students to get to college. As a result, we think they will be less likely to take the opportunities they have for granted.” --Ken Saxon
