Our Mission
Our mission is to include both Financial and Support Services, thus providing a robust level of assistance that will motivate sponsored students to set high goals and confidently pursue a plan for admission to college.
To enable this to happen, we provide direct scholarships as well as assistance in applying for grants or scholarships provided by colleges and other third parties. We may also assist sponsored students in obtaining summer jobs or college internships from participating donors.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Education above all else…..

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
