“My mother, a former educator, instilled in me the importance of education. I was fortunate enough to receive considerable financial assistance that allowed me to pursue a private school education, and university degree. But I was also fortunate that I had a parent who knew where to find scholarship opportunities, how to navigate the application process, and how to use those connections to my advantage. Not everyone has that.
The Simon Estes Educational Foundation doesn’t just provide scholarships. Our scholars receive mentorship and guidance to help open doors they may not otherwise even know existed.
I joined the board this year to help sustain the incredible work the foundation – particularly co-founder Jayne Reed – has done for the past 40 years. Education is paramount to improving lives, and financial support for higher education is key to providing equity for those who have been marginalized. I am proud to be a part of this mission.”
