Since 2016, the Aspire Arizona Foundation has helped more than 400 Rim Country students receive college credit, and now it hopes to do more with the communityâs support.
Paul Brocker, president of Aspire, announced to the gathered business leaders at the Rim Country Regional Chamber of Commerce luncheon on April 20 that he seeks to expand fundraising. He hopes to include local businesses, along with more individuals, to cover ever-increasing education costs.
âThis year, our per credit cost went up,â he said.
When each class averages four credits and the organization supports dozens of students each semester, an increase of $5 per credit makes a difference.
