The Cause: Students Need Help

Education can be the key to a better career, a brighter future and a fuller life.  And yet, financial obstacles prevent many people from pursuing their educational goals.  At Howard Community College, more than 7,700 students sought financial aid in fall 2011, a 53% increase from just two years ago.

Unfortunatley, funds are not available for many of these students.  Events like Vino Scholastico seek to close the gap and help more bright and talented individuals improve their lives through higher education.
