From CCAE: When you support Adult Ed, you help adults reach their goals and achieve their potential. Adult education provides a pathway out of poverty into the middle class; it gives students a hand up, not a hand out. CCAE is dedicated to supporting schools in this endeavor by ensuring adequate funding for adult education. However, we need your help in supporting students in the next step - their college journey or their journal into career and technical education. So many have expressed an interest in helping in some way. That's why CCAE has started a Scholarship Fund. Please consider sponsoring a student today by donating to the CCAE Scholarship Fund! 100% of your donation will help students transition to college or career and technical education.   Click here to donate.
