<div style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">TESTAMENT:
</div>
<div style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">"...Ken personally befriended many of our high school program participants, and was responsible for their successful placement into colleges appropriate for their skills and interests. Despite our youth's poverty, he was able to help them secure the funds necessary to attend college. Many of those children are now graduated and in careers, having broken the cycle of poverty in their families and they owe a great deal of gratitude to Ken."

<div>STUDENT SUCCESS and DEMONSTRATION of the WORK:
</div>
<div>Ken had a student who graduated high school with a 0.9 grade point average, but had overcome an environment infested with gangs, drugs and other ills. The student worked a job and provided for his basic needs. Because of the student's belief that he could succeed in college, <span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">Ken met with his father to enlist his support. </span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">Ken, then began calling schools he had previous relations, sharing this student’s story. The student had not taken the college entrance exams (ACT/SAT) nor had his parent completed the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA). A college allowed the student to take the ACT in the spot, apply for financial aid and be admitted with conditions. </span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">Ken paid installments on the student's balance and mentored him while searching for other monies. He completed the fall semester with a 2.9 grade point average. The school credited a Michael Jackson United Negro College Fund Scholarship to help pay for the fall and the student also earned other financial aid for the spring. </span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div><span style="letter-spacing:0.0085px;">In his sophomore year, he became an exchange student to London. After college graduation, the student returned to London for work and school, obtaining his MBA. This former recipient now works for a Fortune 500 Company. He also serves as a part-time adjunct professor at his alma mater and has a family of his own.</span>
