My mission with this Scholarship Fund is to provide opportunity and support to students from minority and urban backgrounds who face barriers to higher education. Growing up in an underserved community, I saw firsthand how financial constraints and lack of resources can hold back talented individuals with immense potential. This scholarship is about breaking down those barriers and ensuring that every student, regardless of their background, has the chance to pursue their dreams. I want to empower students not only by easing their financial burdens but also by affirming that their voices, experiences, and perspectives matter. This scholarship is a message of hope, showing them that they belong in spaces where they’ve often been excluded. My goal is to help these students succeed in college and beyond, creating a ripple effect of change in their communities. Ultimately, this fund is about giving back, creating pathways to education, and investing in the leaders of tomorrow. It’s about fostering confidence, resilience, and opportunity ensuring that the next generation of change-makers has the resources and support they need to thrive.
