Our goal

This fund will be used to create a scholarship in loving memory of Maleiha Lei Lee Garcia Smith, a passionate young woman who loved and cared about all things outdoors. This scholarship aims to support students who demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, innovation, and making a positive impact on the world. The scholarship seeks to empower individuals who share Maleiha's love for the environment, her curiosity, and her drive to create a healthier, more sustainable future. We hope to inspire and assist students who are pursuing studies or projects related to environmental science, and/or conservation with the dedication that Maleiha exemplified.

Mahleia enthusiastically greeted me into the geek historians. She helped so many others like myself feel welcomed; this warmth of spirit was a way of being wherever I saw her. The world is beyond unfair. May this opportunity realize the transformation Mahleia had dreamed to manifest for the world.
