Dougherty Family College

We know what outcomes are for students who have missed time in school, have uneven preparation, and face new barriers to persistence due to our political climate.

These challenges don’t end at graduation. They follow students into college and career.

That’s why partnership matters now more than ever, and we are excited to partner with Wallin Education Partners on this new scholarship opportunity for our students. And today, we celebrate our students who are now Wallin Scholars after last night’s celebration!

When organizations align, we can respond earlier, stay engaged longer, and support students through complexity. not just milestones.

Feeling all warm and fuzzy taking a look back at our beginnings! We 💜 our alums.

Need some college advice? Take it from those who have been there. Congrats to our graduating seniors!

In partnership with Wallin Education Partners, we’re expanding the ways support can look for students. And we’re not alone.

We are one of 12 community organizations identifying students with talent and drive to provide support to our students to go further as Wallin Scholars.

This moment comes at the transition from high school to college, providing scholarships, advising, and career navigation to carry that momentum forward.

All of our organizations have different strengths. And we all share the same responsibility within an ecosystem that helps our young people thrive.

DFC Block Party 2026 💜 We love celebrating our scholars!

No single organization can carry a student from high school to career alone. That’s why we are partnering with Wallin Education Partners to extend that support through scholarships, advising, and career development.

Together, we create a continuum of care that bridges from our organization to theirs. This is how we move from access to persistence to outcomes.

If you’re working to support students, there’s a role for all of us to play in building something more connected.
