PATHWAY TO $150K CHALLENGE: Run/Walk/Cycle for Scholarships

A widowed mother of three, Lanae Rogers has always managed to make ends meet. Recently, feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities, she opted to stop working. An hour later, Cochise College informed her that she was eligible for a scholarship.

"I cried. I laughed. I was overwhelmed with gratitude."

The scholarship was about the same amount she would have earned at the job she left. At Cochise College, Lanae is overcoming fear and self-doubt. Her objective is to graduate with critical thinking and networking skills that will help her break cycles in her family and community. 

"Earning a degree through education opens my world of opportunity and gives me a springboard to fly as high as I choose. Being gifted this scholarship makes it possible; without it, it's only a dream. Thank you for this gift of education. Thank you for this gift of peace of mind. Thank you for this gift of hope. Thank you for believing in me!"

Your support allows students to focus on their studies as they reach for their goals. Thank you!
