We believe in the power of a scholarship.
We believe they can bridge gaps. Lessen the burden. And keep the American Dream alive.

And because we believe in them, we invest in them. Eagerly and everywhere we can.

Additional Culture Details
Our culture is built around the belief our staff is our number one asset and their engagement a top priority. We strive to have open communication that results in continuous improvement and a focus on our people and our purpose. Our goal is to create a positive environment based on two core tenets:
• Our staff deserves meaningful work that allows them to make a difference and be part of something larger than themselves.
• Our staff deserves a team-based environment where they can bring their whole heart and soul to work in an environment that recognizes that there is more to life than their career, but works to ensure they are challenged, developed, and allowed to flourish while at work.

Values
- Relevance
- An education is one of the most important investments someone can make, and it’s also costly. It costs money, time, sweat and sometimes tears. We know getting through college is not an easy task, we empathize and listen to the needs of those we serve— because every student has a unique story.
