Building a Stronger Future for Student Scholarships

Our Education Foundation is temporarily pausing scholarship awards through December 2026 as we focus on an important opportunity: growing our sponsors and funding support so we can strengthen and expand our scholarship program for the future.

This temporary pause will allow us to dedicate time and resources to building new partnerships, engaging additional sponsors, and creating a stronger financial foundation for student scholarships.

Our commitment to supporting students has not changed—in fact, this pause is about investing in the future of the program. Our goal is to return in January 2027 with a stronger, more sustainable scholarship program and increased opportunities to support students in pursuing their educational goals.

We appreciate the continued support of our members, sponsors, partners, and community. If you or your organization would like to help us grow the Education Foundation and increase scholarship opportunities for students, we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you.

Together, we can build a stronger future for our students.
