2024 Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to our 2024 Scholarship Recipients
This year, we were deeply moved by the number of 8th grade students who applied for our scholarship—young people already creating positive change in their schools, neighborhoods, and beyond. Your stories of compassion, resilience, and generosity truly inspired us. While we wish we could honor every applicant, we are incredibly proud of each of you. Thank you for reminding us that kindness has no age limit.
We’re thrilled to recognize 22 exceptional students who stood out through their heartfelt commitment to serving others. Each will receive a $500 scholarship toward their first year of private high school tuition.
Help us celebrate these extraordinary students and the meaningful difference they’re already making in the world. Learn more about our scholarship program here.
