The Future is Female Scholarship Fund

“The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in that door and take your seat at that table—all of that starts with education.”
                                                                       –Michelle Obama

Education is a privilege, but it should be a right. I want to give young girls, bound for college and looking to take a seat at the table and change the world, that right.  I want to motivate our future generation of female leaders and give them the resources they will need to make the most of their college years. I want them to start off on a strong foot, so they can pay for books without worrying, focus on their studies, and have the chance to go to college, even when they may think it is a financial impossibility. 

And I would like your help.

This year, in conjunction with the Women's Studies Course I created for high school, I have started a scholarship fund. I have seen young women who walk through my door, sit in my classroom, and surmount seemingly impossible obstacles. I have seen bravery and resilience. I have seen compassion and altruism. I have seen intelligence and fortitude. I have seen the future, and it is female.

If any of you would like to invest in this future, please help me by donating money to The Future Is Female Scholarship Fund. It is an investment I know will pay unseen dividends.

I thank you, in advance, for your time and generosity.

Sincerely,
Jessica Berg
