Bobbye Jean Fuller Early Education Fund

Every child needs an advocate, a champion, a friend. 

Bobbye Jean Fuller Education Fund

Bobbye Jean Fuller was a caring teacher, family proponent, and early education trailblazer for UICS-St. Mark Center and the Kansas City community. This scholarship, named in her honor, will serve as a source of boundless hope, learning, and opportunity for families experiencing financial hardships that too often stand in the way of quality early learning.

Your support of this fund helps to ease the burden for working families who are economically vulnerable and unable to pay market rate for quality early education. The Bobbye Jean Fuller Early Education Fund assists families who are eligible for Head Start/Early Head Start, but are on the waiting list. On any given day, up to 32% of our families require early childhood education fee assistance.

Your generous gift brings outstanding early education to a little learner at UICS-St. Mark Center, UICS-Metro Center, or UICS-North Center!
