and help them achieve their educational goals.<br />

“For some young women, it’s impossible to even think about going<br />
to college without financial assistance. Scholarships can give<br />
people a chance and the push they need to achieve their goals. But<br />
many times with young people, finding someone who cares about<br />
them and who is willing to help them is even more important than<br />
the money. Being recognized as a person can make all the difference<br />
for these young people. And community members can give<br />
support in so many different ways.”<br />
