Postsecondary education is a transformational experience that opens a world of possibilities for students while investing in our region’s future. This year, I am pleased to announce that Gulf Coast Community Foundation awarded nearly $700,000 in scholarships from 63 scholarship funds. Providing educational opportunities for those in pursuit of greater knowledge and a brighter future is rewarding not only for students, but also for the donors and funders who have the privilege of administering scholarship funds.
