about us

We all have our own stories as it pertains to education, how it has shaped our lives, the power it has to uplift and create a voice for those who may have otherwise be unheard. We strive to ensure that we reach students and help them see where they are and what they can become.

I believe we all have a responsibility to help others. Scholarships enable, create opportunities, and uplift individuals and communities, so I choose to make this small investment.

It is paramount that students are aware of how to tap into diverse resources that are available to them. Fulfillment stems from facilitating the process and helping to ensure students capture their true essence and aspirations.

I am a big proponent of higher education. I enjoy encouraging and directing students on how to identify ways of minimizing their financial burden when attending a college or university.

PARTNERSHIP

I grew up poor. Scholarships offered an opportunity to achieve an otherwise unreachable goal. Understanding how those scholarships made a difference in my life, I simply wanted opportunities to return the favor. 

Charmeer Raindrop

When people understand what they can do, they can use that knowledge to make more effective decisions. Making students aware of the resources that are available can help make the impossible, possible.

Education is so important, and there are many kids that don’t know the process. So sharing my knowledge with others thru this outsource is liberating to me.

Scholarship Mission

We recognize the importance of education, which is why our vision is to assist graduating high school seniors attend an institution of higher learning.

  • We do our best to expose students to information on colleges and scholarships, encourage taking the SAT/ACT (identifying resources to assist with fees);

  • Meet with students early to spur them to think about the upcoming year, where they are and what they need to do.

  • We conduct interviews and with the funds we have we provide scholarships.
