Since 2012, our programs have made a lasting impact by supporting students in their educational and professional journeys. At the heart of our work is a commitment to helping students achieve their goals and become active contributors to their communities.
Through scholarships and internships, we remove financial barriers, provide meaningful opportunities, and support the growth of future leaders.
By offering both direct funding and real-world experience, our programs foster learning, personal development, and job-ready skills—while strengthening civic engagement and creating lasting impact for individuals, families, institutions, and the communities they serve.
In 2024 81% of Skills for Hope Scholarships were awarded to youths ages 16-30 years.
