THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
The 11th Annual Celebration Luncheon was a huge success! A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and extended their support toward our mission of empowering local students for success beyond high school. Together, we celebrated over 125 students of the Next Level Scholars (NLS) – Class of 2024 as they graduate from high school and embark on their post-secondary journey!
We’d like to extend a special thank you to Paul W. Smith, our emcee for the afternoon, Jacqueline M. Baker, who introduced the Class of 2024, and Miranda Alonso, our student speaker. We would especially like to thank David Lewis, AT&T Michigan President, our keynote speaker for sharing an inspirational message and encouraging our scholars on their paths to success.

“I grew up without a clue of what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to go in life, until I had the opportunity to join Dollars for Scholars my sophomore year of high school. From visiting campuses, to SAT prep, the guidance I received from the program changed my entire outlook.
“From college tours to financial aid, Dollars for Scholars has greatly impacted my path to higher education. As a first generation college student, deciding where I would want to continue my education and figuring out how I would get there was a difficult process. My family and I lacked the time and transportation necessary to visit schools, and this limited me in figuring out my future.
“When joining Dollars for Scholars, I was eager to visit colleges and earn scholarship money. Being able to look at all the different schools with other students I could relate to was so reassuring. Dollars for Scholars was able to answer my questions about the ins & outs of post-secondary education, as well assist me with applications. This extra help was so motivating.
“Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars is a life-changing program. Before high school, I was going down a path that if most kids took, they’d end up either dropping out of school or going to jail. Detroit Regional Dollars for Scholars helped inspire me to get on a better path by showing me how to prepare for college. Hearing other students’ stories made me feel like I could be successful both in high school and post-secondary education.
