Dear Friends and Family,

We are making a difference in the lives of families by supporting first generation college students who seek to build a better life through education.  As the first generation in our families to have attended college, we understand how essential it is for students to be given a fair chance at a quality education.  With that said, we have established the Lourene and Jim Nevels Family and Friends Scholarship Fund specifically to help fellow first-generation college students attend Manor College.

Will you join our work in meeting the needs of these first generation college students? Know that your generosity will afford them the opportunity to advance beyond circumstances by building a strong foundation through education.  Remember the help you’d been given–or the blessings you received–and the difference it made in your lives.

With thanks,

Lourene & Jim Nevels

The More Knowledge, the Better!

“My mom and dad are really proud that I’m the first in my family to attend college. I’m paying for my tuition with my own job. I graduate soon, and I want to continue here at Manor to learn more and get an even better job. This is going to help get my foot in the door. The more knowledge, the better! My younger sister also started attending college, and I’d like to think I helped motivate her. Thanks to the Nevels for providing this scholarship—it helps more than you know.”
