"Because the Imagine America scholarship will allow the students here going on to a two-year program or two-year propriety schools pursue a higher education, an Associate degree, that can go on to a Bachelor's degree. More importantly, they can be gainfully employed a lot quicker than those going to a four-year traditional college or university because the jobs are out there."

"I've worked with lots of students that have received the scholarship ... It's exciting when a student receives an Imagine America scholarship because it really does help them overcome some of their financial obstacles."

George Pry

"Number one, it's given us a different light to them, in the sense that we are out giving some scholarship money. Two, it's made them think of us. Because before, they're not thinking of us, they're thinking of colleges and universities, more of the traditional higher education, and it's a way for them to step back and say wait a minute, there is a scholarship program here, that you are gifted in art, whatever the field they're going into. And so it's made them stop and think."

Frank Longaker

President, National College

“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.”

Sharonda Davis

Garrett Gordon

2008 Imagine America Promise recipient, Kaplan College, Hagerstown, MD

“Because I do not have the financial funds needed to cover the cost of higher education, the support from this scholarship will help me greatly by allowing me to concentrate more on coursework without having to worry as much about finances.”
