The Strength Behind the Scholarship

Apr 14

 to 

12:30 pm Eastern

Seven MCLC women earned full-tuition university scholarships. This is the power of our community-led model in action—showing exactly what happens when brilliance meets the right opportunity.

Join MCLC co-founder Chris Low live from the school on April 14th for a special 30-minute Zoom. You’ll get to hear directly from:

  • Rosalineda, MCLC graduate and present business management student
  • Zaza, her mom
  • Samila, one of her previous MCLC teachers

These are voices we don’t usually get to hear together.

And they’ll share, in their own words, what your support means to them. It is inspiring to hear them speak. They’ll give you great hope that the progress we’ve made continues for the next generation.
