CFNIL is closed in recognition of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday. This quote felt appropriate as we approach the end of our scholarship season; it is a privilege to serve communities which share the goal of "true education" & back that belief with generosity. Thank you!

One week to go before CFNIL's Scholarship application closes! That means there's still PLENTY of time to start an application. There are over 100 scholarships and $400,000+ to be awarded this year. Head to cfnil.org/scholarships to start (or complete!) your application!

Wheeee it's the weekend! And the LAST weekend before the deadline to apply for CFNIL Scholarships this year. Don't worry, that's still plenty of time to gas up, buckle up, and head to cfnil.org/scholarships to complete your application. Let's Do This! #applynow

Looking for a new volunteer opportunity? Don't have a ton of time to commit? Enjoy learning about exceptional students doing great things? Look no further! CFNIL is looking for volunteers to help review scholarship applications. Visit bit.ly/CFNILScholVols to get involved!

We don't celebrate these folks often enough...so let us take time today to say THANK YOU to our CFNIL Finance Friends including our new Director of Finance, Shannon Gustafson! Today is also Finance Associate Isabella Ibarra's birthday, so it's a day full of fun...and FINANCE!

It's impossible to quantify the impact the support of school counselors and student support staff (believe us, we tried...). So we're going to stop counting, and start THANKING! To every school counselor and your peers of many titles, we are endlessly grateful for your efforts.🥰
