Community First Insurance is proud to celebrate the continuation of a heartfelt initiative that began in 2024: two $5,000 scholarships designed to support single parents pursuing higher education and brighter futures. What began as a dream close to the founder’s heart has now become a yearly tradition of empowerment, encouragement, and community impact.
A Vision Rooted in Compassion
The inspiration behind these scholarships comes from personal experience. As the founder shared, “I know what it feels like to be down on your luck — and how much of a difference a helping hand can make.” This understanding became the driving force behind creating a scholarship program that not only provides financial assistance but also offers something even more meaningful: belief in the recipient’s potential.
Empowering Single Parents to Succeed
Each year, two deserving single parents are awarded $5,000 scholarships to help them continue their education through Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) in Winchester. These scholarships are dedicated to individuals who are juggling the responsibilities of parenting, working, and studying — those who are determined to build better futures for themselves and their families.
“This is more than just financial support,” the announcement explained. “It’s a way to say, ‘I believe in you, and I’m cheering you on.'”
Community Partnership and Lasting Impact
Community First Insurance has partnered closely with Bluegrass Community and Technical College to ensure that the scholarships reach those who need them most. The partnership underscores the importance of community organizations and local businesses collaborating to foster opportunities for growth and stability.
What began as a single act of generosity has grown into a symbol of hope and encouragement for families across the region. The scholarship has already started changing lives — one parent, one family, and one dream at a time.
Looking Ahead
As Community First Insurance celebrates the second year of this initiative, the excitement continues to grow. The company remains committed to giving back, supporting education, and standing alongside those who are working to create a better tomorrow.
For more information or to apply, single parents can reach out directly to the BCTC Winchester campus for scholarship details and eligibility requirements.
Community First Insurance extends heartfelt congratulations to all recipients, past and present — and to every parent out there who’s chasing a dream while setting an example of strength, resilience, and hope.
