Be the light that brightens the future for students and teachers. You can help raise awareness and generate funding for $2000 technical scholarships for local high school students and mini-grants to fund teacher projects at area elementary schools. Scholarship awards are based on GPA, leadership, community service, and financial need. Mini-grant recipients are determined by school administrators based on the particular needs of their student population.

You won't have more fun for a good cause than sponsoring or volunteering at an event or working on our Scholarship or STAR Mini-Grant committee.

You'll be surprised at what a huge difference a little bit of your time can make.
