Our Impact
“I really want to inspire everyone in my community, especially my little brothers. It’s about having the possibility. That’s what excites me the most.” — Brannon Smith Student
"Before Evolve502, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go to college simply because my family didn’t have a college fund set up for me. Being the first in my family to attend college means a lot. This scholarship serves as a source of inspiration for me to keep going further with my education. Anything is truly possible and receiving this scholarship is something I’ll forever be grateful for." — Melanie Linan Student
