Investing in Every Student’s Potential
We believe education is the foundation for unlocking potential. Every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired. For over 40 years, CISE has stood beside Cincinnati families facing economic hardship. Providing more than tuition assistance, we offer hope, stability, and encouragement to help students realize their potential and build a future filled with purpose.
Join us in building brighter futures—one student, one future, one success story at a time.
