NE1, NE-Dream Scholarship
2024 APPLICATION IS OPEN!
When people don’t have to worry about being themselves, they can focus on truly world-changing ideas.
In today’s society, self-expression can be scary. From beauty standards to gender norms to dress codes, self-expression isn’t always easy. However, everyone should feel comfortable to express themselves however they want. With more inclusivity comes more opportunities for progress and success!
This scholarship aims to make higher education more accessible by reducing the financial barriers to college.
We're excited to be able to offer a $500 Scholarship to TWO deserving students.
Application Deadline: April 1, 2024
Winner Announced: May 1, 2024
Meet the 2023 Winner!
Alex is a first-generation Latinx and queer undergraduate student wishing to attend the University of Washington-Seattle to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Rights as an aspiring therapist and/or social worker.
Alex wants to advocate for underrepresented communities and marginalized youth so they can have opportunities they did not have access to and help support them so their needs are met. Alex also strongly believes that community care is mental health and having immigrant and queer representation in mental health places is essential.
Alex's dream is to open a private practice and form a mental health center for queer, immigrants, low-income, underrepresented, and marginalized youth of color to afford mental health services.
Evergreen State of Mind
This dark green nail polish was named in collaboration with our Scholarship Winner, Alex. Their dream after graduation is to open a mental health clinic for underrepresented communities that have a hard time accessing these services. To them, this color really reminded them of how important it is to connect with nature and how beneficial it can be for your mental health. Evergreen State of Mind - Take some time to clear your mind!
