The IMPACT Scholarship Program celebrates students who have overcome challenges with the help of dedicated teachers and professors. The program allows students to share stories of educators who made a difference in their lives and offers scholarship support.
Organizers say the influence of a great teacher extends beyond the classroom and semester, impacting students long-term. The program aims to shine a light on these educators and their role in student success.
As part of its ongoing efforts, the program plans to share more student stories, honor inspiring teachers, and demonstrate how scholarships can make a meaningful difference in education.
