Why IAF?

When I received the Imagine America $1,000 award, it showed me that there are people out there who truly believe in others succeeding. I come from a one-income household, and receiving the scholarship meant the world to me. I was able to start my medical program earlier than having to wait until I saved up more money to pay for the program.

The Imagine America High School Scholarship helps many Triangle Tech students achieve their dream careers. Without the support of Imagine America, most of these students would not be able to enroll.

Receiving the Imagine America ASEP Award was just the motivation I needed. Since receiving the ASEP award, I have perfect attendance, a 4.0 GPA, and I am involved in multiple extracurricular activities in the school. Education is an expensive trail to embark on, but I know with hard work, determination, focus and help from Imagine America, all things are possible. I am proud to be a recipient of the Imagine America ASEP Award and will always be an ambassador for them; they have helped — and continue to help — me with my education.

Imagine America is a program that Orangewood High School has been involved with for the last 10 years, and it has been such a wonderful program and such a help to Orangewood graduates. We’ve had a couple of graduates who want to work with auto mechanics, detailing and auto body, and would like to attend UTI, and we have been able to give them $1,000 to pursue that because of Imagine America. We’ve experienced the same with graduates who want to pursue an art career and have received $1,000 to help them attend The Art Institute. The stories could go on, but the idea is that these opportunities are there for our graduates because of Imagine America. Thank you to Imagine America for having this program!

The Imagine America Foundation’s assistance to students in the career college sector and the important research done by the IAF has the full support of National College and whatever resources we can allocate. When we evaluated all the worthwhile organizations we could help, no other group came close to matching the philosophies we wanted to advance through the college’s giving. The IAF will continue to be at the top of our preferred recipient organizations.

The Imagine America Foundation Scholarship program greatly impacted my ability to attend college because it helped me financially with my tuition. If it weren’t for the Foundation’s scholarship program, I would not have been able to obtain a degree.
