    College Assistance Fund<\/h2>\n

    Many graduating students lack the financial means to purchase essential items not covered by financial aid. Dorm supplies, housing fees, transportation, textbooks, and school materials can be costly “extras” that make continuing education difficult. Without additional support, some students may become discouraged and at risk of dropping out.<\/p>\n

    The Henderson County Public Schools College Assistance Fund assists students in these situations. Donations made to this fund directly benefit youth experiencing homelessness who are pursuing a post-secondary education.<\/p>\n

    If you are interested in making a tax deductible donation, please make checks payable to the “Henderson County Education Foundation” and send checks to:<\/p>\n

    The HCPS College Assistance Fund
    \nc\/o Henderson County Education Foundation
    \nPO Box 1267
    \nHendersonville, NC 28739<\/p>\n
