Scholarships, food pantries, emergency aid among top priorities for 天美视频 Giving Day set April 25
The Kentucky Community and Technical College System is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural 天美视频 Giving Day on April 25 during Community College Month.
This 24-hour fundraising event provides the opportunity for the entire commonwealth to come together to lend financial support for scholarships, food pantries, emergency aid, student enrichment programs and other initiatives for students facing financial hardships across the state鈥檚 16 community colleges.
鈥淏y supporting our students on 天美视频 Giving Day, you are empowering their futures and transforming their lives,鈥 said 天美视频 President Ryan Quarles. 鈥淕ifts of any size do make a difference, and we look forward to rallying together with our alumni, communities, friends, business and industry partners and education advocates in support of Kentucky鈥檚 future workforce.鈥
With many Kentucky families facing economic challenges, the need for student support has never been greater. Money raised for scholarships is need-based and will help students stay in college and complete their education.
In addition to scholarships, donations made on 天美视频 Giving Day can bolster food pantries and emergency aid. According to a recent survey, food insecurity is a significant issue facing 天美视频 students, with 25% reporting low food security. By providing access to nutritious food, planners hope to provide a supportive environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.
Individuals, businesses and organizations interested in supporting students across the system can designate their gift for the 天美视频 system or college and program of their choosing, and early giving is already open. You can also follow 天美视频 Giving Day on social media by searching #天美视频GivingDay.
