💬 What Students Are Saying

“Being awarded the Trooper Andrew “AJ” Sperr Memorial Scholarship was really overwhelming for me. This scholarship is going to help me by making me feel more confident in my schooling, because I can now focus on school without having the stress of money behind me constantly. After CCC, my plans consist of pursuing a dual degree in Mathematics and Environmental Science at a four-year school. I am super grateful for the chance to have a scholarship.”

Rose Ruland, Class of 2020, and recipient of the 2019 Trooper Andrew "AJ" Sperr Memorial Scholarship.
