Help Us Help More Students Like Christian
Dear Ms. Geoffray and The 431 Exchange Family,
I would like to personally thank you for selecting me as a scholarship recipient and for your genuine and unwavering support. It is highly irregular for a student to stumble across such a welcoming and friendly organization such as yours, and I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be one of those students.
I firmly believe in the mission of The 431 Exchange and hope to one day be able to return the favor either directly or through the community.
Thank you for making the world a better place by aiding us students in the hopes of what we build tomorrow. Again, thank you all!
Sincerely,
Christian P. Crout

We are thrilled to share with you the incredible impact The 431 Exchange has had over the past five years. With your generous support, we have been able to provide 108 deserving students with scholarships totaling $200,000. The aim is to give away $115,000 to the additional winners while continuing to support the 431 Exchange’s current students who are still on their educational journey.
What makes our program unique is our steadfast commitment to stand by and support all of our adult learners until they have completed their programs and degrees.
We met Christian Crout in the Fall of 2022 as a student at the University of New Orleans. Thanks to your help, we have been able to provide him with “Lift Scholarships,” which are annual supplemental scholarships in the amount of $431 and are granted after the initial award of $1,431 to continue to support our scholars. This has allowed us to keep in touch with Christian and cheer him on throughout his educational journey. Our goal is to support 150 scholars by 2026, and with your support we can make this a reality. Please consider making a gift today to empower more brilliant minds. Your contribution always makes a difference.
