Edison
Foundation Launches Scholarship Campaign
The Edison Foundation at Edison State Community College will launch the
2nd annual Illuminate the Future Community Campaign to support student
scholarship opportunities beginning March 5, 2018.
It is through campaigns such as this that many Edison State students
are afforded the opportunity to further their education and,
ultimately, secure a rewarding career without the financial burden
typically associated with a college education.
"Amid the smiles, hugs, and tears witnessed at an Edison State
graduation ceremony, you will hear the voices of gratitude for the
financial help that came during a student's most difficult hour and
understand how that assistance solved a financial need and provided a
spark which made the difference between dropping out or continuing,"
said Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson.
This year alone, The Edison Foundation has granted over $40,000 in
scholarships to Edison State Community College students from Auglaize,
Champaign, Darke, Logan, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, and Shelby counties.
"The goal of the Foundation Board is to organize and update our
Foundation operations," added Stan Evans, Chairman of The Edison
Foundation. "We are very proud to say we are doing that and are
committed to assisting as many deserving students as possible through
our scholarship donations of more than $1,000,000. We can only do this
with the support of many donors to which we are extremely grateful."
The mission of The Edison Foundation is to assist Edison State
Community College in meeting its educational and community service
goals. The Foundation shall accomplish this through the identification,
cultivation, and solicitation of corporate foundation and individual
donors, and by communicating the goals and needs of the College to the
communities of Darke, Miami, and Shelby counties.
