Project Description Country: USA Location: Larimer County Total Budget: $1,500 Areas of Focus: Maternal and child health, Basic education and literacy Activity Type: Education: Scholarship Summary: Scholarship program to support single parents attending a Larimer County community college campus. Larimer County, Colorado is an expensive place to live. With rents high and rising and the current inflation, life is unaffordable for many. Not least for single parents who are trying to raise a family on one income. Education is the path to a better life for parent and child. This project provides a scholarship for a single parent with the grit and determination to complete an Associates degree while working and raising a family. This project will pay the tuition at a Larimer County community college campus for a deserving single parent or the living costs for one who is eligible for the Colorado College Opportunity Fund. If funded, this will increase the availability of the Ron Baker Scholarship Fund that our club has dedicated for this purpose for many years. Doing so will allow us to expand support from the current single recipient to another deserving single parent for a year. RAW will continue to seek further support to extend support for the second student for an additional year. A club committee of education professionals will work closely with Project Self-Sufficiency to select the second student and continue to mentor the student throughout their degree program.

Thanks, Randy 10-Jun-24 by Neil Harrison A student who qualifies under this program has been identified for the next semester. A payment to the student through Project Self-Sufficiency will be made shortly. 10-Jun-24 by Neil Harrison Under Poudre School District's cost-saving plans Cache La Poudre Middle School (the 'home' of this project) was threatened with closure. As a result the principal and the literacy coordinator who were the school sponsors for the program have resigned and left the district. We have made contact with the new literacy coordinator and will meet with her before the fall semester. At that time we shall evaluate the schools move during the last semester to place all Kindles in the school media center and make units available to all students rather than just those with reading comprehension deficiencies. We shall also investigate the possibility of expanding the project to other middle schools in PSD. 10-Jun-24 by Neil Harrison Ignore last history entry.
