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 Marion County Public High School seniors.

Thanks to the generosity of her support network, the fund has awarded ten (10) $500 scholarships to high school seniors in Marion County since its first year.

The application for 2024 is now live. Students can apply by submitting their application materials via the PEFMC Scholarship Portal: Application Link

You can visit https://pefmc.org/scholarships/ for more information about the scholarship fund. If you have any questions, please email upliftandempowerscholarship@gmail.com

To help the fund impact more students and expand to more schools in the future, you can donate via the Public Education Foundation of Marion County. Please select Uplift and Empower Senior Scholarship on the “Please direct my support” drop-down menu to ensure your donation goes toward the Uplift and Empower Scholarship Fund.
