In a remarkable show of community service, 40 dedicated Opportunity Scholars from Central Piedmont have recently taken part in an initiative to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness. These scholars prepared 400 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grab’n’go lunches and wrote motivational messages. These were all lovingly delivered to Roof Above, a nonprofit organization committed to combating homelessness in our area.

Opportunity Scholarships provide underrepresented students the support they need to obtain a two-year degree in various fields.
