At the 2022 Empowerment Dinner, ULP was proud to award over $141,000 to 58 students.
Education is the bedrock of economic and social success, and the one true road to empowerment. By offering scholarships to deserving high school seniors, the ULP fulfills the organization’s ultimate goal of creating self-sufficient members of the community.
Considering the increasing need and to deepen the impact of our program, we are now endeavoring to provide (at minimum) $5,000 per scholar. Providing a $5,000 scholarship to qualifying students can make a significant difference in their educational journey. It shows a strong commitment to supporting students in need and can help alleviate some of the financial burdens they face.
Your contribution would have a direct and immediate effect, allowing us to increase the size of the scholarships awarded each year. With your partnership, we can make college and/or post-secondary education accessible.
