Our story

This fund, in Chris Jackson's name, has been helping fight student debt with Bold.org since November 2020 and has raised $15,000 in scholarships. The fund seeks to remember Chris, who was smart, insightful and had a razor-sharp wit. He made you feel important because you knew you had his full and undivided attention when you spoke to him. Chris was also an amazing father to his daughters Abby and Lily, a wonderful husband to his wife Karen, and a great friend to many. In his early years, Chris struggled to afford his degree, which ultimately helped him build a rewarding career in technology. Chris passed away in the fall of 2020, but through scholarships supporting the future generation of technology majors, his spirit lives on.

Our goal

This scholarship fund will support students who want to pursue a Computer Science degree and make the world a better place. The mission revolves around empowering computer science to do more.
