Generational Change through Investment in Education
Our project aims to recognize and invest in low-income, first-generation students of color who have demonstrated grit, resilience, and commitment to their education despite their socio-economic circumstances. We are committed to supporting those students who may not be the high achieving students but continue to persist in their educational journey. Our goal is to equip these students with an education that gives them access to careers that break the cycle of poverty and changes the socio-economic status of future generations.
