WITH PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT, STUDENTS HAVE THE RESOURCES TO EARN A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE, COMPLETE THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF COLLEGE AND TRANSFER TO A FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITY, AND TAKE CLASSES NEEDED TO ADVANCE THEIR CAREERS OR ACHIEVE LIFELONG LEARNING.

  • THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS TO SUPPORT TUITION, EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, LIVING EXPENSES, AND PAID INTERNSHIPS. NEARLY HALF OF OUR STUDENTS REQUIRE MORE THAN TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL AID CAN OFFER. IN A CLIMATE OF RISING LIVING COSTS AND A PRESSING NEED FOR SKILLED WORKERS, OUR SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NOT JUST HELPFUL THEY'RE ESSENTIAL. THE FOUNDATION IS A CATALYST FOR OPPORTUNITY AND SUCCESS. THIS HOLISTIC APPROACH ENABLES STUDENTS TO FOCUS SOLELY ON THEIR ACADEMIC GROWTH, SETTING THEM UP FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND.

OUR DATA ON PERSISTENCE FROM SPRING 2020 TO SPRING 2022 IS UNEQUIVOCAL: STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE THESE FUNDS ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THEIR STUDIES AND EARN THEIR DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE; DIRECT STUDENT SUPPORT IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MAKE AN IMPACT THROUGH PHILANTHROPY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
