So… who are we? 🦅💚

We are RiverHawks Scholars.

We are college students.
We are learners.
We are future professionals.
We are building independence.
We are making friendships.
We are finding our place in the NSU community.

But most importantly, we are individuals with our own strengths, interests, goals, and dreams.

The RiverHawks Scholar Program exists to help students build the skills, confidence, and experiences they need to create meaningful lives during college and beyond.

Four pillars. Countless possibilities. 💚

📚 Academics
💼 Career Readiness
🏠 Independent Living
🤝 Social Skills

This is who we are. This is RSP. 🦅

Why RiverHawks? | Alumni Family Spotlight 💚🦅

"Hope is currently living by herself near the NSU campus! She has her own apartment, a car, and recently started a new job at a retail store called Golden Rule.

I think RiverHawks prepared Hope to live independently by teaching her everyday skills like grocery shopping, meal planning, laundry, and other responsibilities. She has also been able to maintain a job and all of the responsibilities that come with it.

The biggest thing has been Hope's independence. She has been thriving since college. She has a job, a new car, and can cook, clean, and enjoy living on her own.

One of my favorite memories from Hope's time in the program was the recognition she received while she was in college. She was welcomed with open arms, and I loved seeing the awards she earned at the end of each year.

To any family considering the RiverHawks Scholar Program, I would say: definitely go for it! RiverHawks has helped so many people with disabilities through its unique college program by building skills for learning and for life."

💚 Stories like Hope's remind us that success looks different for every student, but confidence, independence, and opportunity are goals worth celebrating. Thank you for sharing your family's journey with us!

💚 Why RiverHawks? 💚

✨ This week, we're featuring the Hussain family.

"We wanted Hakeem to have the opportunity to experience college while continuing to build the life and independent living skills that will help him succeed as an adult. We also wanted him to be part of a community where he would feel accepted, supported, and included.

Our hope was that Hakeem would become more independent, build friendships, gain confidence, and become more involved in campus life.

Since joining the RiverHawks Scholar Program, we've seen Hakeem become more engaged on campus. He joined one of the student clubs, participates in campus events, and has become more social. It's been wonderful to see him spending time doing activities beyond just being on his laptop. He still benefits from reminders and support to stay organized and focused, but we're encouraged by the progress he's making and know that independence is a journey.

Some of our favorite memories have been attending Homecoming with Hakeem and watching him experience one of NSU's favorite traditions. We also loved attending the Spring Awards Ceremony, where we had the opportunity to meet the RiverHawks staff, the other students, and their families. Those events gave us a true sense of community and reminded us that we're all supporting one another through similar journeys."

💚 Thank you, Hussain family, for sharing your RiverHawks story!
