Impacting Student Success

You have the power to help students walk into classrooms with confidence, knowing someone believes in them.

Did You Know?

Almost half of the adults in your community do not hold a college degree due to personal responsibilities.

Keelin, a first-generation FRCC student, recently shared the story of how an FRCC scholarship impacted his life and education.

HIs story reflects the experiences of many students who are navigating the rising costs of housing, food and childcare. 

 

When you donate, you'll help break down these barriers to:

  • Ease students' financial stress— allowing them to stay on track to graduate. 
  • Fuel hands-on learning helping graduates into high-demand careers. 
  • Empower students from all backgrounds to support their families. 
“I’ve navigated financial stress, fear and self-doubt as I pursue my goal of becoming an anesthesiologist assistant. Receiving this scholarship reminded me that I’m not in this alone. It allows me to focus on my education and my future, not on how I’ll pay for school.”

Stories of Impact

 

Your donations are creating transformative opportunities for our FRCC students. Here's what they have to say.

 

"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for selecting me as a recipient of the PEO Chapter JM Scholarship. Words cannot fully capture the significance of this opportunity to me and my family.

 

As a single parent who has faced many challenges, this scholarship is more than just financial support; it is a light of hope and encouragement on my nursing journey.

 

Your generosity and belief in me remind me that I am not walking this path alone. You have not only lifted a financial burden but also given me renewed strength and determination to push forward and succeed. My children and I will forever cherish this blessing, and I carry your kindness in my heart as motivation to work hard, serve others, and give back in the future.

 

Thank you for being such an important part of my story. I am truly honored and humbled by this gift, and I promise to make the most of it."

"When I started school, I was shy and overwhelmed, but my kindergarten teacher helped me discover the joy of learning. That all changed at the end of third grade when my mother passed away from opioid addiction. The loss left me depressed and disconnected, and by fifth grade, I had to leave school early.

 

However, family struggles and conflict with counselors brought back my depression, and I left again. I spent the next few years living with my grandparents, doing little beyond helping at home, while feeling stuck and uncertain about my future.

 

In 2022, I realized my passion for computers and decided to pursue computer engineering. I enrolled in GED classes at Front Range, nervous but determined. Returning to school after years away was difficult, yet I showed up every day with resilience, ready to prove to myself that I could build the future I wanted."

Moving Forward, Together
