The beginning of 2020 was the start of difficult journey for our organization. Aside from being unable to conduct any of our usual fundraising activities, we couldn't select our 2020 scholarship recipient due to pandemic not allowing the access to the student population we needed to make the selection. Our applications went out right before the physical closures of the schools due to the state of our country and more specifically, our city who was hit very hard.
We vowed to make 2021 selection happen and we did it! Changes in the distribution, via electronically, we were happily able to overcome the obstacles the pandemic posed. Even though our pool of applications was not as large as in the past we pushed through.
Now, we are here in 2022. Things have not completely resumed to "normal" but our hopes remain high. Instead of sending physical applications, we sent pamphlets with information on the organization and how to obtain an application via email. This cut costs of printing and distribution.
Please help us make this 2022 selection happen this year! If you know someone who is thinking of applying, encourage them to please send completed package to our mailing address below by Friday, April 29th. This year, we will be accepting complete packages via email as well.
Thank you and best of luck to all!
