Scholarships & Student Needs

What are the biggest challenges facing college students today?

Well there are many interrelated challenges on college campuses affecting student success. However, there are two key contributing factors which seem to work hand in hand and they are access to student funding and food insecurities. 

Since the majority of college students utilize student loans or scholarships to pay for educational expenses and to help make ends meet, many of these same students are faced with having to choose between paying for tuition or food.  

This is why your support of our various on campus food pantries and scholarship funds is so critical. Your donations this past year have either fed, educated or supported thousands of our future nurses, teachers, chefs, technicians, your friends and neighbors. 

We are grateful for your compassionate support, and we’re just getting started.

Because nobody should have to choose between education and a meal.
