“The sonography program has benefited greatly from the Student Assistance Fund. Our students face the same issues as all people in our community. Divorce, homelessness, and family tragedies have all occurred. If it were not for the student assistance fund helping students with immediate needs, I believe many would have been forced to drop out. These are students who are now successful health professionals. I can’t thank you enough!”
