Student Achievements in Pursuit of Degrees & Professions

Anthony Keeps Soaring Higher - Watch the WUSA9 Interview
Picture
As Anthony applies to 6 grad schools in pursuit of a career in opera, he's incurring expenses: application fees, travel to schools for auditions and interviews, clothing for these visits, and grad school living expenses. Hopefully he receives scholarship offers as he did for undergrad. We plan to provide Supplemental Scholarship awards as needed.
​What a Difference $931 Made Thanks to 5 Donations Toward a
​Supplemental Scholarship Award, an iPad
Anthony writes, “The IPad has been a great vital component of my work the last year and a half. It has served to assist in shooting high quality video recordings that I can use for graduate audition prescribes as well as a place I can store much larger files. The IMovie feature is incredible in allowing me to cut and edit videos that I otherwise wouldn't be able to on my regular laptop because it simply is a bit dated and lacks the storage needed to be able to process these videos. It has also served as a place where I can store my eTextbooks for language classes and other academic courses like Philosophy.”
Many Scholarship Recipients Benefited From Supplemental Scholarship Awards, Invaluable Computers and College Access Funds  
for their college prep workshops that included: tutoring, college and scholarship research assistance and counseling.
  • Kevin & Daivon - in 11th grade, March 2020, without computers when school closed we gave them computers to continue the school year online and the college prep program through 12th grade.   Kevin received a scholarship to Ohio University, studying management information systems; Daivon received a scholarship to Radford University, majoring in aeronautical engineering.
  • Maurice - received a scholarship to University of Maryland Eastern Shore, majoring in construction with a goal of becoming an architect.
  • Jewel - who received a laptop to complete her senior year at North Carolina A&T, graduated summa cum laude;  she plans to teach in a DC public school.
Skylar, with her gift card for transportation & other college related expenses, her MacAir and Supplemental Scholarship award letter, is completing her first semester en route to her goal of becoming a veterinarian.
All Out for Change® helps public high school students overcome disadvantages our educational systems’ inequities present. Donations help cultivate competitive college and scholarship candidates, and help full and partial-scholarship recipients with the myriad of essentials their wealthier peers’ families can afford, such as laptops, transportation to and from college, clothes for job interviews, meals, dorm and school supplies, and scholarship tuition gaps that prevent registration if not paid. Learn more about their achievements in the face of financial conundrums on our Inspiring Stories & Impact page. ​

The lives of students we support are vastly different from their wealthier peers. All Out for Change®, through donations, helps financially disadvantaged, ambitious, students with great potential like Kevin, Anthony, Guadalupe, Juana, and numerous others. Our support, together with others',  eases their journey toward degrees, professions, and upward mobility for themselves and their families.
Give to Cultivate Upward Mobility & More Stories of Achievement

So long, jitneys — and farewell to our connective tissue

11/15/2021

 
Brian Broome, Tuesday Opinion, The Washington Post, November 8, 2021

“I have been thinking a lot lately about how all this safety and convenience divides us… we are saying goodbye to the connective tissue that people in communities use to create and have with one another…” Brian Broome, author, “Punch Me Up To the Gods.”
Picture
The next day while in the office at 5:30 pm, I saw the light on in my office neighbor’s window across the way. I opened mine and yelled out to him. He opened his with a big smile. Enjoying the connection and conversation, he held up the Starbucks coffee cup, his daily delivery. I prodded him on the front stoop the day before, his Starbucks delivery in hand…"walk out the door and support one of our small businesses; the bagel shop makes the best cappuccino and americano. Just make sure you have Judy do it.”

So, from his window he tells me that it’s because of the convenience and time savings. He doesn’t take the time to go the 1/2 block daily, and so misses out on the connection, the neighborly familiarity with local businesses that's easily cultivated just out our door.


Read the Tuesday opinion by Brian Broome. You may find yourself pondering and reflecting on choices too.
