Erin's Story

“I raised three children as a single parent and have been blessed with flexible jobs that allowed me to parent. Now, it is time for me to stop putting off what feels like my calling, and to move into a career where I can stand tall and be who I was always meant to be.”

Erin Hof
NAIFA Scholarship Recipient

Nevin's Story

“I was 16 when I decided I wanted to become a future educator for the next generation. The Early Childhood Education program was my calling. With both of my parents being disabled, scholarship funding lent much needed support for books and other supplies.”

Nevin McIntosh-Higgins
Supporting Success Scholarship Recipient

Jenna's Story

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities community college has afforded me. I wish more people would consider starting their higher education journey at a community college. I was given so many opportunities and didn’t have to sacrifice quality.”

Jenna Stevens
