STUDENT AID PROGRAM

The Foundation's 86 year-old student aid program reaches back to 1923, when the first student loan fund was established at the Foundation.  From that point on, the community has come together under the Foundation's guidance with the common goal of helping local students attend college - over 12,500 students have been helped since the program's inception.  In the 2009-2010 school year alone, the Foundation's 140 student aid funds provided 464 students with $832,324 in scholarships and grants, and $169,000 in low-interest loans.
