This program allows us the opportunity to say to these young adults, "we believe in you and your future." We know that a number of these students wouldn't have the chance to go to college if it weren't for the support they're receiving from these scholarships. - Eva Martin, Board President of RMHC of Greater Las Vegas and local McDonald's Owner/Operator.
