One Scholarship, Two Levels of Impact

Step 1: Fundraise & Donate
Donors and corporate sponsors generously contribute toward scholarships.

Step 2: Support a Student (Two-thirds)
Two-thirds of each scholarship goes directly to a deserving student, funding their college journey—covering tuition, textbooks, fees, or critical expenses.

Step 3: Invest Back in the School (One-third)
One-third returns to the student's high school, funding essential resources, academic programs, technology upgrades, or mentorship initiatives.

Step 4: Cycle of Impact Continues
Schools use these funds to uplift future students, building sustainable educational excellence.
