Youth from marginalized communities often face significant barriers to success, including limited access to quality education, financial instability, and a lack of role models. Without scholarships and mentorship, many of these students are left without the resources or guidance needed to pursue higher education and achieve their full potential. Financial struggles can deter them from even considering college, while the absence of mentorship leaves them without support to navigate academic and career challenges. While scholarships ease financial barriers, it is mentorship that empowers students to fully leverage those opportunities—enabling them to break the vicious cycle of poverty, realize their potential, and become leaders who inspire change.
