Each year, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School Employees support United Negro College Fund (UNCF), the nation's largest and most effective minority education assistance organization, by launching a workplace campaign to raise funds for deserving students to attend college. UNCF supports over 360 students a year in Georgia with scholarships totaling over $1million.

"A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste."^® For more than seven decades, this principle has remained at the heart of UNCF, enabling them to raise more than $5 billion and helping nearly 500,000 students and counting not just attend college, but thrive, graduate and become leaders. UNCF does this in three ways: By awarding more than 10,000 students scholarships, worth more than $100 million, each year; By providing financial support to 37 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs); And by serving as the nation's leading advocate for the importance of minority education and community engagement.

Our local initiative will begin February 17, 2020 through March 31, 2020. Your donation is an investment in the future of our nation. More importantly, it's an investment in a deserving youth who desires to advance his or her education to make a difference in the world around them.
