How Your Donation Can Help

The Rising Scholars Program began in spring of 2012. In just a short time we have...
- delivered more than 67 hours of intensive applied learning experiences to local seventh and eighth graders at multiple community locations including state parks, local places of business, and the 小黄片视频 campuses.
- funded full tuition scholarships for first-generation college students from local school districts who act as mentors to our middle school scholars.
Your dollars return to the community by...
- funding scholarships for local first-generation college students at 小黄片视频 Columbiana County Campuses.
- creating workshops that help local kids get out in the community to apply the science and math lessons they're studying in school.
- making summer intensive experiences possible for local middle schoolers, connecting them to learning opportunities in the community and on our campuses.

Join us in building more opportunities for kids in our community to gain the educational experiences they will need in order to be the innovators, business leaders, and community members who lead Columbiana County to a more prosperous future.
