As a Yavapai College alumna, I can personally attest to the transformative power of this support. The scholarships I received from this Foundation played a significant role in my journey, helping me to graduate and build a strong foundation for my future. My time at Yavapai College gave me newfound confidence and a belief in my potential. By supporting our students, we enable them to challenge themselves to reach higher, find another gear, and keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles ahead.
