Scholarship
Mentor Iowa: The Honorable Colin J. Witt Phoenix Award
Mentor Iowa is a scholarship given to high school students who have been in the court system, participated in our programs, and have a desire to continue on to higher education or begin an apprenticeship. Awarded in Judge Colin Witt's name, it raises awareness of the state of child welfare in our community.
Since 2020, ten youth have been awarded $200 scholarships each — and we want to increase both the amount and the number given out each year. Contributions to this scholarship further Colin's belief that when we come together, we're able to be one another's harvest; no one gets left behind.
