Support Ella's Journey to Tulane University

Hi, my name is Ella Gilmore.


I’m a junior at Kennett High School from Bartlett, and this summer, I’ve been accepted into a prestigious two-week program at Tulane University, where I’ll be studying criminal and social justice. While I’ve received partial scholarship support, I still need to raise $3,777 to cover tuition and travel to New Orleans — and I need your help to get there.

Over the past year, I’ve become deeply committed to advocacy and education around domestic violence and justice reform. As the former Ms. MWV Teen, I chose my platform to raise awareness about an issue that has deeply impacted my life and the lives of many others. Through my school’s Criminal Justice program, I’ve grown passionate about understanding how our systems work — and how they can be made better.

This opportunity at Tulane is a chance for me to grow as a change maker, to learn from experts, and to develop the tools I need to make a difference. Your support doesn’t just help me get to New Orleans — it helps me move forward in my journey to create a more just and compassionate world.

Thank you for believing in me.
