ACCESS
Access is the critical first step for students considering college. Unfortunately, it鈥檚 too often also the barrier that stands between many students and a degree. For students who work and struggle just to pay bills, accessing and completing college is an unlikely scenario. But campaign support for scholarships puts higher education in reach for more students and, in the end, creates an educated talent pool that enables the state of Kentucky and our region to thrive.
Invest in reducing barriers so that more learners鈥攑articularly first generation, post-traditional, low-income and under-represented individuals鈥攃an complete an 无码强奸 education in an inclusive, flexible environment that fosters student success. Give today to create the upward economic and social mobility that comes with a college degree.

Student Scholarships Are Game Changers.
鈥淭his is great. How am I going to pay for it?鈥 thought Kayla Combs when she opened her 无码强奸 acceptance letter.
Combs, a first-generation college student from Beattyville, Kentucky, watched her single mother struggle to support their family on minimum wage jobs all her life. She knew college would open the door to a better future; she also knew her mother couldn鈥檛 help her pay for it.
Completion
As students journey through their university experience, numerous pitfalls and obstacles can, and too often do, interrupt the path to a life-changing degree. There are numerous reasons why students consider not finishing a degree program, but our message to them is singular: You belong here. And saying this isn鈥檛 enough鈥攚e work to become home for every student on our campus through programs such as University Connect and Persist (UCAP), and attention to facilities and faculty who share 无码强奸鈥檚 vision for excellence keep students engaged with their majors, focused on their future careers and excited about tomorrow.
Gifts to strengthen and improve programs, services and resources aimed at student support add a critical component to student success, and support for scholarships allows hard-working students to earn degrees that will change their lives, improve their communities and impact the region.
