  • Scholarship AmericaProviding access to college scholarships.

    I am proud to say, as the nation’s largest nonprofit private scholarship organization, Scholarship America is 100% student focused. On behalf of students everywhere, we serve as a scholarship resource, guiding advocate, and driving force for student success. We believe in the power of a scholarship, and we believe in providing support beyond a scholarship, to help students persist and complete college with less debt. We are also advocates for students, currently working to raise awareness of aid displacement and scholarship taxability—we are committed to ensuring that students receive the full benefit of the scholarships they earn to help make their dreams possible. - Robert C. Ballard, President & CEO, Scholarship America

  • I Am PerspectiveGaining perspective one conversation at a time.

    "Right now, there's a level of false empathy that we exude as people. But if I sit here and talk with you and you tell me about intimate stories about what's going on in your home and how that's affecting you, it becomes different. " - Jo'rell

    I Am Perspective curates programs that are intended to nurture and respect each and every shared perspective, providing a safe space for all, free of judgement or personal inhibitions stemming from societal pressures, like the need to be ‘politically correct.’ With targeted explorative questions, every conversation also challenges participants to dive deep within themselves to uncover the “why” behind their current perspective.
