Creative Change Counseling awards $5,000 college scholarships to assist students with tuition, room, and board to begin or continue their education. High school seniors beginning their educational journey may find the cost of college and other expenses overwhelming, to say the least. We also want to make an impact on young adults who are already on the path of higher education but face a financial hardship that stands in the way of furthering their goal of obtaining a college degree.
