Maywood Education Fair 2015

The greatest investment we can make for the future is a college education for our children. The graduate students of the Master of Science in Higher Education program at California State University, Fullerton in coordination with the College of Education  and the Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership are hosting the 7th Annual Maywood EducationFair at Saint Rose of Lima Church on Saturday, October 17, 2015

The Maywood Education Fair is our opportunity to demonstrate to high school students and their families how obtaining a college degree is possible and awards numerous scholarships to outstanding and deserving high school graduates.  As you may know, Maywood is a largely Latino, underserved, low-income community. Approximately 48% of students from Maywood and surrounding southeast cities graduate from high school, and of those, only a small percentage continue on to pursue higher education. At the same time, we know there are many highly motivated and capable students and committed parents in this community.

Over the years, the Maywood Education Fair has gained credibility within the community and provides awareness regarding college admissions, financial aid, and other resources to the residents of Maywood and surrounding cities.  We are hoping that the 7th Annual Maywood Education Fair will be our best one yet!

This is where we need you!  Between this Go Fund Me Account and other fundraising efforts, our goal is to raise $10,000 to fund the Maywood Community Scholarship and your support is pivotal in reaching our goal.  Will you help?  Your donation to this scholarship fund will make a lasting impact on the lives of students for years to come!
