Amid civil unrest, economic turmoil, and mass chaos, it’s easy to feel as though America is regressing. However, in previous times like this, people of color have thrived and found ways to extend life unto the next generation. Our organization follows in the steps of our predecessors to overcome setbacks and provide the best for future generations. Through their experiences, we recognized the importance of education & representation and how they influence our future.
Our goal as an organization is to illustrate ALL students of color are college material, regardless of circumstances. We offer materials, seminars, community services opportunities, and mentoring to help youth along their journey.
By July 2023, we hope to empower 500+ minority students. We will focus on underprivileged youth in low-income areas and encourage them to attend events, where we will dismantle any apprehension associated with seeking higher education. Students will receive continuous support and will be granted opportunities to connect with: peers who face similar challenges and graduates who made it through. Our organization will work to ensure that each of our students is accepted into an institution upon graduation, in addition to drafting plans so students can finance this investment with minimal debt.
It is far too often that minority students reject the notion to pursue higher education due to a lack of finances. It is our organization's goal to assist students of color facing financial hardship, so that they may continue to grow.
The Tanning Effect is devoted to reaching our objective of awarding two minority students with 1,500 USD for the upcoming academic year of Fall 2023. This organization is proud to additionally assist the winning recipients of the scholarship with mentors to help aid their success through college through our scholarship program.
