Thanks to all who generously contributed to our recent UUFH Sunday Outreach Collection, netting $3,144.50 for the Dream Scholarship Fund. These scholarships support local Henderson County youth who has/will graduate from (private or public) high schools in Henderson County and who face the mandate of out of state tuition costs at a public college/university.
This is an incredibly exciting and moving time for the scholarship program. Working with high school guidance counselors as well as nonprofit and congregational partners, DREAM Scholarship applications were made available to students throughout Henderson County.
We are thrilled that community participation in the DREAM Scholarship has grown; congregational partners are Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and St. James Episcopal Church. Additional support has come from individuals. The DREAM Scholarship Fund has been established at the Community Foundation of Henderson County. Any and all interested parties can make donations to the UUFH DREAM Fund.
