J C Cooley Foundation Scholarships
The average cost of tuition for a student to attend a public four-year university is $22, 953 annually (collegeboard.org). Even if a student were to get in-state tuition, the cost would still be around $10,000 per year. These numbers do not include the cost of books, study material, food, transportation, and other necessary expenses. According to the WSJ, it's no wonder why the average graduating senior in 2017 had over $40,000 in debt.
The JC Cooley Foundation believes in preparing the youth of today to be the leaders of tomorrow. As part of our promise, the organization awarded 10 students with $500 scholarships in 2015 and 19 in 2016 and over 25 scholarships in 2017.
This year, our plan is to awards deserving high seniors at least 30 scholarships of $250 and $500 or more to graduating seniors. To assist in not only lowering the debt of our future leaders and to help acknowledge hard work and dedicated students, please consider sponsoring a student for a scholarship. Since the JC Cooley Foundation is a nonprofit, all donations are tax-deductible. We can provide you with a receipt of your donation along with our EIN number for employers who provide matching funds.
