"The FDC has become a pivotal part of my education and our family as a whole. Without this scholarship opportunity, I would not have the opportunity to continue my education. The amount of gratitude we have for this opportunity is something my family will carry for the rest of our lives."
- Arianna H
"Not only is Owen ahead academically, his teacher repeatedly mentioned how far ahead he was socially and emotionally - how he had excellent problem solving skills, made friends easily, was well liked by his peers, could communicate his thoughts and feelings with others well, and how he was an incredibly kind child. We are so very proud. And while I'd love to take credit for that, I know that so many of those skills were learned and nurtured during his years at the FDC."
- Elizabeth S
"We do not have a village to help raise our daughter but with FDC and the help of CCAMPIS, it now feels like we do and we are so grateful."
- Annalee S
"Getting my degree seemed impossible, but thanks to FDC and the scholarships available, I'll be graduating in the spring! And my kids love it here and feel so at home with their school family!"
