"The Ripple Effect" - A Virtual Fundraising Celebration for Paid in Full Oregon
TODAY IS THE DAY!!! God is transforming our state prison system from the inside out, one life at a time, giving HOPE & a full 4 year college degree!!! Be a part of . . .
"The Ripple Effect" truly describes what happens in prisoners’ lives, families, communities, relationships and – inside the walls of the Oregon State Correctional Institution (OSCI) via the strategic partnership between Paid in Full Oregon & Corban University!
The mission of Paid in Full Oregon is to transform adults in custody into spiritual and moral leaders. These words form the promise God made to us, that the men in the Oregon prison system will be transformed by the biblical education they receive. As they study, pray and pursue their four-year college degree from Corban University, they will be transformed and become spiritual and moral catalysts inside the walls of Oregon's 12 prisons.
In 2020, we saw the completion of our 3,300 square foot classroom remodel project in the Oregon State Correctional Institution (OSCI), consisting of 2 classrooms, 2 ADA bathrooms, a library/study hall area, computer lab and professorial office space, for grand total of $684,500. In spite of the onslaught of COVID, our first cohort of 25 men managed to finish their freshman year on August 31st. Our 2nd cohort of 25 men is scheduled to begin classwork in January 2021.
The value of this four-year college degree for a student attending Corban is approximately $129,000, but the four-year cost for a student in the Corban extension at OSCI is only $22,000. Therefore, a one-year scholarship for a student in the Corban extension is just $5,500, plus it only costs $700 for one laptop computer and $600 for one year's textbooks.
Let's celebrate what God has done and raise the funds for what He has planned next!!!!
