The Pride Scholarship Endowment

The purpose of the fund is to provide tuition support to one or more students.

Support the Endowment

Currently, there is $40,000 in the endowment. This allows us to give a scholarship of approximately $1,000 per year. Our present goal is to reach $50,000 by end of 2011, so we can increase the individual scholarship amount. We need your help to reach this goal. Scholarship Donation Info Sheet
