It's that time of year again.
Reviewing supply lists, confirming class schedules, purchasing books, consulting with counselors, confirming scholarship dollars have been received, and maybe even preparing for a long car or plane ride to campus. Wherever your journey is taking you this month, we know our scholars will meet it with optimism and grace.  

College is a journey, and an experience designed to help prepare students to successfully create a positive impact in this world we live in.  We are here to help make sure that the journey is possible and impactful.

Make this school year amazing!
