Sixteen 431 Exchange Scholars Graduate
The 431 Exchange is pleased to announce the graduation of sixteen of its scholarship winners.
“These incredible students have shown unwavering dedication and perseverance in their educational journeys, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements,” said Jeanne Geoffray, Co-founder of The 431 Exchange.
The organization looks forward to awarding its next round of scholarships to a new group of deserving students, and asks supporters to consider donating to help it increase the number of students it can help.
Over the past five years, The 431 Exchange has awarded $200,000 in scholarship support to 108 students. Its goal is to support 150 scholars by 2026. 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.
“We want to ensure that more scholars have the opportunity to pursue their dreams,” said Jeanne. “Our supporters’ generosity has made a real difference in the lives of our scholarship winners, and we hope existing and prospective donors will join us in empowering more bright minds through education.”
Mia Robertson speaks for many of the scholars when she describes the difference The 431 Exchange has made for her.
“Having The 431 Exchange continue to support me financially and emotionally has led me to continue to work hard in college,” she said. “I knew that I had people who were rooting for me to get my degree and I didn’t want to disappoint those that have faith in me.”
