The Rogers Foundation

Congratulations to Rogers Scholar Grace Vazquez Rodriguez! 🎓 Grace recently graduated from Kentucky Wesleyan College with not one, but two Bachelor of Science degrees—one in Business Administration and one in Mathematics. ✨

Reflecting on her college journey, Grace shared that the Rogers Foundation scholarship made it possible for her to experience all that college had to offer—from academic growth and leadership opportunities to lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.

“I will forever be grateful to the Rogers Foundation for the life-changing scholarship I received. I would never have had the true college experience without the foundation’s support.”

We are incredibly proud of all Grace has accomplished and can’t wait to see what comes next as she begins this exciting new chapter. Congratulations, Grace! 💙

TRF Scholar Charlotte Flake continues to thrive as she moves through her Spring 2026 semester! 🎓💙 Currently enrolled in five courses—including advanced speech pathology classes—Charlotte shared how much she’s enjoying diving deeper into her studies, especially Introduction to Speech Sound Disorders. She’s also chosen to minor in Human Development and Family Science to better prepare for the meaningful work she hopes to do with future patients.

Beyond the classroom, Charlotte is giving back by getting involved on campus and joining Alpha Phi Omega, a community service–based fraternity. She shared how grateful she remains for the opportunity made possible through The Rogers Foundation and how motivated she is to make the most of it—academically, personally, and in service to others.

We’re so proud of Charlotte and can’t wait to see all that lies ahead. ✨

Big congratulations to CORE Executive Director Jeff Jones, recognized as the District A honoree for Black History Month. Jeff’s leadership, service, and unwavering commitment to the community continue to make a meaningful impact every day.
