    Love To Serve Incorporated

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $10,000

    Love To Serve has been a pillar in the community for 29 years. We have helped students qualify for college scholarship funds as a result of their composite scores on the ACT test. Our program encourages students to begin taking the prep class as early as 7th grade. Early and frequent exposure to the test will dramatically improve a students chance of receiving significant college scholarship funding from many different sources. The ACT/SAT Prep class gives students the opportunity to start developing excellent study skills. It can help improve focus, elevate study habits and help academic stamina which will help students prepare for the rigors of college.
