Letter from the President

Dear Friends and Supporters,

 

Education has the power to change lives, and together, we can make that change possible. At the Redlands Community Scholarship Foundation, our mission is simple: to help local high school seniors pursue their dreams of higher education—whether at a college, university, or trade school. Through the generosity of donors like you, we provide scholarships that ease financial burdens and open doors to bright futures. Every scholarship awarded represents a student with ambition, talent, and determination—someone who just needs a helping hand to reach their full potential. Your support is more than a donation; it is an investment in our community, in education, and in the leaders of tomorrow.

 

We are deeply grateful for your generosity—not only for the life-changing impact you have on our students but also for the trust and belief you place in our foundation’s mission. Your commitment allows us to continue providing opportunities for young people who might not otherwise have the means to pursue their educational goals. We invite you to be part of this life-changing work. Whether you are a returning donor or considering giving for the first time, your contribution makes a real and lasting impact. Together, we can ensure that every deserving student has the opportunity to succeed.

Thank you, Donors

The Redlands Community Scholarship Foundation is honored to be part of a community that values education and invests in its future. Thanks to your support, students can pursue their dreams with confidence, knowing their community stands behind them.
