Congratulations to our 2016-2017 Scholarship Recipients

It's that time again. Students are returning to classrooms and college campuses across the country, and our educators are poised to prepare another generation of innovative leaders. We here at the UNCF are so encouraged and unbelievably proud of this years scholarship recipients here in the Northeast Ohio area. We wish you much success as some of you begin and others continue your academic pursuit of excellence.  

We have been extremely busy this summer getting the word out on the opportunities that the UNCF has to offer and the need for community and corporate leaders to stay committed to the cause of education. Stay tuned on more details on our upcoming luncheons in Akron and Cleveland along with workplace campaigns and our faith initiatives. We cant do this work without you, so be sure to donate your time, talents and treasures as we invest in our students. 

Thank You
