LIFT Giving Campaign
LIFT - Local Investment for Transformation
In honor of his professional and philanthropic achievements, Humberto Lopez was inducted
into the Cochise College Hall of Fame in 2026. During his induction remarks, he pledged
to contribute $250,000 for need-based scholarships if the college could raise that
amount by the end of the year.
The LIFT (Local Investment for Transformation) campaign seeks to match Lopez's pledge. Your generosity means local students have opportunities to unlock their own success that they may not otherwise be able to afford. Many Cochise College students are the first in their families to pursue higher education, juggle multiple priorities other than college, lack the financial capacity to earn a credential in a timely manner. To hear more of Mr. Lopez's story visit the LIFT campaign webpage.

“Cochise College has given me an experience of what university could feel like. It’s helped me focus on my studies and helped me meet financial needs through scholarships, which makes things easier. Through my experience in the Student Government Association, I have become friends with the other officers, which has really enhanced my experience. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity.”
“The biggest thing this scholarship has done is help me remain financially stable—it took a stress off myself and my family and allowed me to avoid taking out loans. Because of that, I’ve been able to continue at Cochise College, figure out what degrees I wanted, and take time to find the person I am through my experiences and interactions. It’s helped me become more confident in myself and taught me that if I focus on the things I need to do, I will succeed.”
