Description : The Goodrich Scholarship Program -- in collaboration with CPACS, multiple departments at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), Metropolitan Community College, P4K, Omaha Public Schools (OPS), and local businesses throughout the Omaha community – is planning to host the Futures Fair, an event where diverse low-income education specialists create an environment where hundreds of 7th and 8th graders from P4K immerse themselves in activities that galvanize their interests and induce them into certain educational or academic habits that would facilitate their individual navigation of the often difficult road ahead to college or some other postsecondary institution. Support is both needed and critical for the continuation and growth of Goodrich’s Futures Fair partnership with P4K, UNO/CPACS and the community. Goodrich and P4K, with the assistance of CPACS and UNO, intend to continue to promote the accessibility of higher education to underserved middle school students through meaningful engagement that will create an immediate tangible opportunity for educational and employment exploration through the Futures Fair.
