I was very fortunate to have parents who were able to send me to any college I chose. But not everyone has that capability.

Venus de Miles fundraising proceeds support Greenhouse Scholars, providing comprehensive personal and financial support to high-performing, under-resourced college students.

Although I work at a university that prides itself on being there for first-generation college students and whose mission dovetails nicely with Greenhouse Scholars, I rarely interact with students. Fundraising for Greenhouse Scholars while doing something I love is a great way for me to give back.

Greenhouse Scholars uses a unique "Whole Person" approach, which offers intellectual, academic, professional, and financial support, we are cultivating the next generation of community leaders. The day our Scholars leave college, they’ll be prepared to succeed in their professional endeavors and make significant contributions in their communities.

Thank you for supporting me and making a student's dream a reality!
