Increasing access to higher education is a core pillar of poverty alleviation work at a community level and aligns with the ideas shared in Uplift and Empower. To uplift and empower her community, Danielle launched a scholarship fund to support high school seniors in Ocala, Florida.

Thanks to the generosity of her support network, the fund has awarded sixteen (16) $500 scholarships to high school seniors in Marion County since its first year.

For the 2024 - 2025 Academic Year, the fund would like to support six students with $500 scholarships. To help the fund impact more students and expand to more schools in the future, you can donate via:

1) the official Uplift and Empower GoFundMe, or 

2) the PEFMC website by selecting "Uplift and Empower Senior Scholarship" from the drop-down menu on their donation page.
