Each year we award many general, nationwide scholarships as well as several specialty scholarships. Educational experiences: we are committed to empowering our scholars not only through their academic journeys but also beyond. Our educational programs are meant to connect, educate, and enrich the lives of our scholars through personalized curricula designed for their holistic development. Medical debt relief : we also launched a pilot program to address medical debt among our scholarship recipients, reducing scholars' medical debt by over 75%.
