Let’s Change the Statistics
This program recognizes the strength, resilience, and determination it takes to rise above the challenges of growing up without your dad and the realities of modern day struggles. The mission is simple but powerful: remind young men that their story can be different from the past and current expectations. Whether they are breaking the cycle or carrying on their father’s legacy, this scholarship encourages them to become strong, compassionate leaders — as fathers, mentors, or father figures.
