The $600,000 donation will fund scholarships and ongoing equity initiatives across campus.
recently announced the $600,000 donation from Wana Brands Foundation, a charitable organization funded by Wana, which will fund a handful of scholarships and help pay for a school-wide initiative that assists in financial aid, enrollment and registration processes to eliminate equity gaps.
When CCD and Wana began to study the possible scholarship routes, she adds, it was important to both parties that off-campus issues were addressed. As her mother went from night classes at the Auraria campus to Red Rocks Community College to a dental hygiene program at the University of Colorado Denver, Rodriguez says she saw first-hand how hard it is to continue an education while maintaining a job, raising kids or handling other challenges.
"When you get a flat tire or a pipe in the house breaks, yeah, it's annoying, but we can navigate around it. But that can force some students to drop out of college," DeSanctis explains."We've always thought of students as that eighteen-year-old coming out of high school, but when you think about the demographics of a community college, there are a lot of working adults and people with other things going on in their lives.
