On August 16, 2026, the Education and Leadership Foundation (ELF) will celebrate the accomplishments of its Empowerment Fellows—college students who are giving back to their communities through leadership, service, and civic engagement—at its annual Fellowship Award Dinner. During the event, fellows will be recognized for their achievements and awarded scholarships to support their educational journeys.

Last year, ELF awarded more than 34 scholarships of $550 each. With community support, the organization hopes to increase both the number and impact of these awards. Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting student fellows as they work toward completing their college degrees.

This scholarship is separate from the stipend they receive upon completing their respective cohorts.
