We are honored to share an inspiring story from the students at International Community High School in the Bronx! As part of their business class project, they raised $190 by designing and selling bracelets and chose to donate it to Scholar and a Dream. Their initiative and generosity reflect the spirit of giving back and supporting equitable education for all. We’re so grateful to these young changemakers for believing in our mission and helping us empower underrepresented students. Together, we’re closing the achievement gap and building brighter futures! #NonprofitSupport #BronxStudents #ScholarAndADream #EducationalEquity #FutureLeaders

At Scholar & a Dream, we see their potential. We feel their drive. But we can't bridge this gap alone. This #GivingTuesday, be the hand that opens doors. Your gift doesn't just fund education – it ignites possibility. It tells a student: your dreams matter, your future matters, YOU matter.

#ScholarSpotlight – Farah Bey was chosen as one of our exceptional scholars in 2020 and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Howard University with a Bachelor’s of Business Administration this year! ?? Farah reflects on her journey: “I couldn’t have accomplished this without Scholar & A Dream. Beyond the financial support, check-ins from the Scholar & A Dream Team, care packages throughout my college matriculation, as well as reminders that we can always lean on the team for support, have greatly contributed to my success. I would encourage any high school juniors to apply for Project Dream, and I urge donors to invest in this foundation to continue helping students of color reach the finish line.” As we celebrate Farah’s remarkable achievement, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Project Dream. This initiative is designed to empower BIPOC high school students in by providing the tools, resources, and mentorship they need to thrive. Stay tuned for more details on how we will uplift the next generation of leaders! #ScholarAndADream #ProjectDream #FutureLeaders #EquityInEducation #CareerDevelopment
