Kaitlyn Hammerle’s journey to achieving academic honors at North Central reflects her unwavering determination. Her success is a powerful example of how — with the support of donors like you — students can thrive and reach their full potential.

“Knowing there are people out there who think my education is worth investing in makes me feel incredibly grateful,” Kaitlyn said. 

A proud alumna of North Central’s Early Childhood Education program, Kaitlyn exemplifies how the right support can make all the difference.

During a challenging period in her life, including a time when stable housing was uncertain, Kaitlyn’s resolve only grew stronger. Throughout her academic journey, Kaitlyn was driven by a desire to set an example for her six siblings, showing them that they could not only shape their own futures, but also make a meaningful impact on their community.

After graduating from high school, Kaitlyn received the Tip of the Mitt scholarship, which covered her educational expenses at NCMC and connected her with mentors who genuinely cared about her success. In her first year at NCMC, Kaitlyn made remarkable contributions, achieving Dean's and President's List academic honors and founding a new club on campus. She also actively participated in community service, including reading to elementary students and organizing Thanksgiving meals for those in need through North Central’s Campus Cupboard.

The support Kaitlyn received from professors, staff, and donors like you helped her succeed. She was able to focus on her passion for early childhood development, free from financial burdens.

Kaitlyn's story is a testament to the impact of donor generosity, demonstrating how your contributions shape destinies and empower the next generation of local leaders.

Thank you for your continued support, which makes stories like Kaitlyn's possible.
