The Annual "A Way Forward" College Scholarship is a beacon of hope and support for students who have faced and triumphed over significant challenges in their lives. It recognizes not just the hardship but the incredible perseverance, resilience, and unwavering commitment of these students to not only advance their own education but also to contribute positively to their communities. Each year, we seek to award this scholarship to an individual who embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity, demonstrating an unparalleled dedication to making a difference in the world around them. Through this scholarship, we aim to support their educational journey, acknowledging their past struggles and celebrating their future potential to inspire and enact change.

Our Microscholarship program is designed to empower students who are making meaningful contributions to their communities and require additional financial support to advance their education. Recognizing the potential in these changemakers, we offer financial aid to cover essential educational expenses such as tuition, books, and other academic necessities. This initiative aims to alleviate financial burdens, enabling students to focus on their academic and professional goals without the stress of financial constraints. By investing in these promising individuals, we foster a cycle of positive impact and community development.

The A Way Forward (AWFWD) Fund is more than financial support—it’s a catalyst for change designed to uplift individuals, support philanthropic organizations, and strengthen communities. The Fund empowers students, service organizations, and community champions who demonstrate determination, resilience, and a commitment to paying it forward. Each contribution fuels access to education, personal growth, and community development, bridging gaps and creating lasting opportunities for those ready to transform their future.
