Aureon Consulting Scholarship Program - For the second year in a row, Aureon Consulting was proud to award $4,500 in scholarship funds to five outstanding central Iowa students who planned to pursue STEM-related degrees at an Iowa college or university. Awarding this select group of students aligns with Aureon Consulting’s vision to help propel Iowa’s future workforce, and we are honored to support these students who plan to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Starts Right Here - In January, we donated $200 to Will Keeps’ organization, Starts Right Here, which focuses on unifying Des Moines youth and its community through arts, entertainment, and other methods of breaking down barriers. Starts Right Here is an alternative education program for Des Moines area students, which is making incredible strides – with community support – to educate, equip, and empower our youth.
