We believe education is the pathway out of poverty. Each year, Bellevue LifeSpring awards Bellevue high school graduates and parents with college scholarships toward a living-wage career. Each scholarship is renewable for four years of school. In 2016, your generosity provided 26 college scholarships to 24 Bellevue high school graduates and two parents in the Bellevue School District. Meet the students that your support has impacted this year!
