Jeannine Sapere receives scholarship

Jeannine Sapere is one of two Cambridge College ISSP (Integrated Student Success Program) students and one of ten Massachusetts women to receive a $1,500 scholarship from Vital Impact this fall. The mission of Vital Impact, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to raise funds to provide life-changing scholarships for education to women in Massachusetts, who are at least 35 years of age and have a need for financial assistance, enabling them to transition to a more rewarding career and create the life they desire for themselves and future generations and building a community of empowerment and support.

"My wish and dream is to open a twenty-four hour a day, seven-day a week, support center for families dealing with mental illness," said Jeannine. "This would be a place for parents, siblings, and other family members who are dealing with the mental illness of a loved one to get together with others, find help, resources, support and strength, and to inspire hope."
