“The Ed Fund’s College Courses program helped me with paying for my classes and books I needed while keeping a full-time position at my job.”
In our ongoing series highlighting the transformative impact of the Education Fund, we’re excited to share Gabriela Garcia’s story from 2021. “I heard from co-workers how much the Education Fund service helps you in paying your general education classes to better yourself,” Gabriela, a Lab Assistant at Dignity Health’s Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, shared. With the support of the Education Fund, Gabriela was able to cover tuition and books while working full-time as she pursued her college courses with the eventual goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.
