The Education Empowerment Scholarship, funded by Julie Leone, aims to support high school seniors who are first-generation Americans and English language learners. This scholarship provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate resilience, perseverance, open-mindedness, and altruism, helping them to overcome barriers in their educational journey. The scholarship awards a total of $5,000, divided among two winners, each receiving $2,500. It is designed to empower students from low-income backgrounds who are committed to continuing their education at a two-year college, four-year university, or trade school.
