Help Us Award Two 1804 Scholarships

Right now, Haitian students in the U.S. are being pushed out of classrooms, campuses, and many other spaces. Many are still showing up, studying, and working toward their degrees. The 1804 Scholarship is for them. The scholarship is named for 1804, the year Haiti won its independence. It honors students who carry that same courage and determination. It’s open to Haitian and Haitian-American college students across the U.S., regardless of immigration status. We already have $1,000, which is enough for one award. With your help raising another $1,000, we can support two students. Each award is $1,000, paid directly to the student’s school, with no strings attached. Recipients will be announced on January 1, Haitian Independence Day. Every gift, big or small, tells these students their community sees them and is behind them. The 1804 Scholarship is a program of Lakou Lokal Inc., a Caribbean diaspora community wellness nonprofit.
