Hello!

We are happy to announce we have reached our 1 year mark! Since our launch, we’ve awarded $7K to 10 Chicagoland students of color across private elementary and higher education. The growth of The Endurance Scholarship would have been nothing without your support!

As we move into our second year, I’d like to take a moment to highlight our Co-Founder, Jennifer Ortega. Jennifer received an amazing research opportunity in her field and decided to step away from The Endurance Scholarship in August to pursue this opportunity. I am thrilled for the new chapter Jennifer is embarking on and am forever grateful for her contributions to The Endurance Scholarship. 

To learn more about our first year, the successes we’ve had, and how we’ll be moving forward check out our Annual Report for FY21.

*NOTE: The Annual Report fails to mention our fundraising goals for Cycle 3. For Cycle 3, we will sustain our awards at four $1K higher education scholarships and two $500 private elementary scholarships.  

With Care,
Sierra
