HOPE Invests in Stillman College’s Next Chapter

As Stillman College celebrates its 150th anniversary, President Dr. Yolanda Page is leading the institution with a bold vision centered on preparing students from “cradle to career.” Through initiatives like its partnership with I Dream Big Academy, Stillman is creating pathways that introduce students to higher education early and reinforce the belief that college is within reach. And, HOPE has made an investment in the college’s vision. With HOPE’s $15 million in financing, the college is modernizing residence halls, addressing long-overdue campus improvements, and creating updated classrooms and laboratories that provide students with the hands-on learning experiences needed for internships and career readiness. These investments also strengthen the college’s long-term financial sustainability, allowing greater flexibility to invest in its future. Stillman has set an ambitious goal of enrolling 1,000 students by 2030, with a strong emphasis on both recruitment and retention.
