Why It Matters
Academic knowledge is powerful. Project R.E.W.A.R.D.S. helps young people build on that foundation with the communication, leadership, decision-making, and self-awareness they can carry into every next step.
Even when a student is ready for college, the difference between financial aid and the true cost of attendance can stand between them and enrollment. The Malcolm Jenkins Scholarship ensures financial barriers don't stand between ambition and access.
