“Through the support of the Sharing Success Program grant, the SCC Foundation will be able to award scholarships to make college a reality for many more students,” says Betsy Schneider, SCC director of development. 

In the grant program, CoBank matches contributions its cooperative customers, such as Cuivre River, make to nonprofit organizations they nominate for the grant. “Sharing Success” provides a dollar-for-dollar match up to a maximum of $5,000.

“We are very appreciative of CoBank’s mission of sharing their success to help improve the quality of life in our community,” says CREC general manager/CEO Den L. Brown. “We strive daily to follow this Cooperative principle and Touchstone Energy core value: Commitment to our Community.” 

“This is a great opportunity to bring more resources to help students, support our community and support SCC, a valued Cuivre River member,” he adds.

St. Charles Community College is a public, comprehensive two-year community college with associate degrees and certificate programs in the arts, business, sciences and career-technical fields.
