GRADUATION DAY!

The Hastings Literacy Program provides GED test preparation classes to adults in Adams County and the surrounding area. Many of the students are immigrants to this country and are non-native speakers of English. Many other students have never completed their high school education. Once the staff determines a student is ready to take their GED test the next hurdle may be the cost–$120.00! For the last 4 years, the Hastings Community Foundation has provided GED Test Scholarships to the program.

“We are able to use those funds to motivate students to earn their GED and possibly remove a financial obstacle that is standing in their way of a successful and productive future.”

– Ann Cannon, Adult Education Coordinator
