You Can Give Hope.

I’ve been given back something I lost a long time ago.

My ability to believe in myself. – Amanda

After 26 years of poor choices, 48 year old Ron is 4 years sober, has his high school diploma, and has enrolled in barber school to follow in his father’s footsteps. Thanks to donors funding Career Online High School, Ron has a bright future for the first time in his life.

You’ll face some obstacles, but don’t give in. You have to apply, interview and follow through on finishing the perquisite courses. You have to work at it…. You have to make yourself available and really want it. The program is such a blessing. I’m really doing it for my four-year old daughter and one-year old son.

The best $2,500 you can spend.

Where else can you invest $2,500 and transform a life—often a family—for good? Career Online High School Graduates are not merely earning a diploma from an accredited high school, they’re rediscovering themselves, improving their confidence, and learning to take responsibility for their own future. Whether graduates continue in their education or land their first full time job in a career of their choosing, they have direction and hope—many for the first time. That’s priceless.

A Better Life.A Better Workforce.

Not only does a high school diploma change the life of the student, it can improve the fabric of a community. With unemployment rates highest among those without a high school diploma, Career Online High School has the potential to impact the jobless rate of your community. In addition to the fundamental academic subjects, students choose to focus on 1 of 8 high-growth, high-demand career fields:

Child Care & Education / Certified Protection Officer / Certified Transportation Services / Office Management
Retail Customer Service Skills / General Career Prep. Professional Skills / Homeland Security / Food & Customer Service Skills

How it works.

Through the generous support of donors like you, scholarships are awarded for Career Online High School (COHS) to qualified learners looking to earn a high school diploma and advance their careers. Once enrolled, COHS pairs each student with an Academic Coach, who offers ongoing guidance and encouragement, evaluates performance, and connects the learner with the resources needed to demonstrate mastery of the course material. Classes are supported by board-certified instructors, and students have 24/7 access to the online learning platform. Coursework begins in the students’ selected career fields, before progressing to the core academic subjects. Students are able to graduate in as few as six months by transferring in previously earned high school credits but are given up to 18 months to complete the program.

How you can give hope.

Career Online High School enrollment is free to the student upon successful completion of the self-assessment and prerequisite class. Once the student is cleared to move forward in the program, the library, in its discretion, awards that student a scholarship to proceed.

Your gift to the scholarship fund ensures that subsequent students have the opportunity to take the first step to changing their life for the better.
