The path to greater inclusion, independence and contribution within your community!
2024秋季项目
JWCC enriches lives through learning by providing accessible educational opportunities and services at an exceptional value. 终身大学 (CFL) extends that mission to students with intellectual or developmental disabilities, allowing JWCC to better reach the community as a whole.
资格
终身大学 is for students 18 years of age and older who:
- Have an intellectual or developmental disability (IDD), or similar learning challenge.
- Want to continue their education beyond high school.
- 想上非学分课程.

Students who are ages 18-21 and still receiving special education services are encouraged to consider 终身大学. CFL can be a part of an effective IEP Transition Plan. Dual-enrolled students can continue receiving special education services from their school district while attending CFL. The CFL Coordinator is available to talk to parents and educators interested in this option.

“We never dreamt that a program like this would ever be available for Nick. Nick has a completely different attitude going to JWCC than he did in high school. He has a great attitude at home and talks non-stop after being picked up both days. 我们很惊讶,也很感激! Nick is so very fond of all of his instructors. We have never experienced the excitement that Nick has when he comes home. The last 2 weeks have been such a pleasant surprise.”
吉尔·伯吉斯,尼克的母亲

Need-based scholarships are available through the JWCC Foundation:
杰夫·伯吉斯CFL奖学金 – The family and friends of Jeff Burgess established an endowed fund in his memory to provide an annual Jeff Burgess Scholarship to a student in the 终身大学 Program, as well as direct support to the CFL Program. Jeff had a talent for giving practical and wise advice, and he fit the description of life coach very well. This scholarship is awarded to a student participating in the CFL Program.
CFL学费奖学金 – The CFL学费奖学金 is funded through the generosity of many private and public donations. 家庭成员, friends and organizations connected to our students continue to provide for their ongoing educational experience.
终身大学 tuition cannot be covered by federal or state financial aid (e.g. PELL, MAP,大学勤工俭学). However, ABLE account funds may be used for education expenses. Families and students are encouraged to reach out to civic and faith-based organizations to inquire about new scholarship possibilities.
