Fast Forward Fund, helmed by the Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) with support from the Two Rivers Community Foundation (2RCF) and funded by Paul Bushong, will offer awards of up to $5,000 for high school seniors from Glenwood and Carbondale to attend a two-year degree program or trade school.
The purpose of the fund is to empower and motivate high school seniors to pursue higher education. Fast Forwards specifically targets students that graduate not knowing what they want to do, or those who can't afford to attend a two-year college.
