Last year, no one from Alabama or Mississippi applied for the NAHMA Educational Foundation scholarship. That means students in both states missed out on a $3500 opportunity. We hope to get more people living in AHMA-affiliated communities from all four of our states to apply this year. We believe these scholarships can change lives. Here’s how:

1. Improving your educational and career prospects:
   By providing access to education and training programs, a scholarship can help residents of all ages acquire new skills and knowledge and increase their chances of finding better employment opportunities.
2. Increasing your earning potential:
   With a well-paying job, you can improve your financial situation, reducing the stress and uncertainty associated with poverty.
3. Boosting your confidence:
   Receiving a scholarship can be an empowering experience, helping you feel valued and supported in your pursuit of education and career goals and boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
4. Providing a sense of purpose:
   By acquiring new skills and knowledge, you can discover new passions and interests and find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in your work.
5. Breaking the cycle of poverty:
   By improving your financial situation and career prospects, youcan break the cycle of poverty and build a better future for yourself and your family.

A NAHMA Educational Foundation scholarship can help and has helped so many people achieve their full potential, improve their quality of life, and create a more positive future for themselves and their families.
