How is a scholar selected? Former CDB Program Director Bonnie Raskin shared some insights on the IEA blog.
“RECEIVING THE CDB SCHOLARSHIP HAS BEEN A LIFECHANGER FOR OUR SON. I GET TEARY JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT A POSITIVE MINDSET CDB HAS CREATED FROM A BORED AND UNCHALLENGED STUDENT ONLY 15 MONTHS AGO.”
– Parent of a Caroline D. Bradley Scholar
“THE CAROLINE D. BRADLEY SCHOLARSHIP IS NOT JUST A MONETARY GIFT – IT’S A COMMUNITY. CDB HELPED ME DEVELOP THE CONFIDENCE TO BE WHATEVER IT IS I WANT TO BE.”
– CDB Alumnus
We are deeply heartbroken by the devastating fires impacting so many friends, families, and staff in Southern California. The health and safety of our community remain our top priority.
While our offices are outside of the evacuation zone, staff will be working remotely through Wednesday, January 15 as we continue to monitor the situation. We are staying in touch with staff and families affected by these fires.
We sincerely appreciate your support during this challenging time. If you need to reach us, please email us at IEAGifted@educationaladvancement.org.
Thank you for your understanding and care. We’ll provide additional updates soon.
