“I’ve been inspired by the young people pouring their hearts into leading change during a time of crisis. Not only are they’re learning calculus, they’re creating awareness campaign on the dangers or counterfeit pills, advocating for resources for their communities, organizing drug take back events and speaking to legislators. This scholarship is our way of standing behind them. Their voices, their work and their futures matter.”
