🚀 Welcome to the team!
Scholar Fund is growing! When we started as Scholarship Junkies, we never imagined we would expand to where we are now. Since the beginning, education has been at the core of everything we do. As our team grew, our dreams for Scholarship Junkies grew too, and then Scholar Fund sprouted when community needed it most. More on that story here.
Our education team has been at the forefront of our transformative work, and we are pleased to welcome two new members: Amrita Heer and Roslyn Nambo Kagy! Your contributions will impact students everywhere and advance our values of care in the education world.
We are also excited to welcome Maria Gonzalez as our Operations Coordinator Lead! She will support local community efforts and help more people access the resources and opportunities they need. Scholar Fund welcomes you all with gratitude and eagerness to continue our mission.
 Amrita Heer, Senior Education Manager | “I am so excited to get to work alongside a really great team in connecting resources to young people and doing cool work with and for youth in our communities!” |
 Maria Gonzalez, Operations Coordinator Lead | “I'm looking forward to diving in and working with so many brilliant people, who are just as passionate about making a difference as I am! Through my work at Scholar Fund, I'm also excited to contribute towards closing gaps and barriers for those furthest from opportunity.” |
 Roslyn Nambo Kagy, Education Strategy Improvement Coach | “As part of the Education Strategy team, I will support regional and statewide college access initiatives with an emphasis on increasing student, family, and community voice and expanding the use of continuous improvement models. I am excited to continue my lifetime commitment to supporting young people in my community and to eliminating systemic barriers that young folks and their families face!” |
📅 Connect with us!
Scholar Fund will be participating in various community events this month! This is a great opportunity to meet our team and get resources for students and families.
