Carter Peterson McMillan Foundation
We Support Students to Reach Their Full Potential
What We Do
The premise set forth by Bessie and Espie Carter from the very beginning was always based on the student’s need and we try, as best we can, to continue operating in such a fashion. Currently, we assist students trying to get in for a semester/year and/or graduates who have completed their academic degree requirements and need only finances to graduate. By operating in this way, we are able to go beyond what a set scholarship amount may be able to do for students. No longer having a thriving business to assist students, we need the help of our donors. With your assistance, we can remain true to the legacy and assist an even greater number of students.
— We Find
We find students who need financial assistance and help them with their accounts. Often times, it’s graduating seniors who have completed all of their academic requirements and just need the finances to get their diploma.
— We Follow
We follow up with students still in their academic careers to keep them motivated through the journey.
— We Encourage
We encourage those who have been assisted to, in turn, continue the giving spirit and help someone else.
