Pathways Scholarship Fund

Opening Doors for At-Risk Youth

The Pathways Scholarship Fund is dedicated to supporting at-risk youth—especially those with
incarcerated family members or those impacted by systemic barriers as they pursue education,
training, and personal growth. We believe in investing early to empower young people to break
cycles of incarceration and envision possibilities beyond their circumstances.

Who the Scholarship Supports

The fund provides financial assistance to youth ages 13-24 who demonstrate academic potential
or commitment to personal development, financial need, and a desire to pursue higher
education, vocational training, certification programs, or extracurricular enrichment.

Special consideration given to applicants with justice-impacted families.
