Hello our names are Raunie and Kody Bailey. Through experiencing the loss of our own siblings to substance use disorder and suicide, the Earnest Jane scholarship aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens that can accompany higher education, enabling students to focus on their studies and personal growth after losing a loved one to mental illness. We believe that education is a powerful tool for healing and empowerment, and we hope to foster resilience and success in those who have faced such heart-wrenching circumstances.
