Student Education and Leadership Fund

The Student Education and Leadership Fund is a non-profit charitable organization based in Rockville, Maryland. Operating as a 501(c)(3) exempt entity, the organization employs 5-9 individuals and generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. The Student Education and Leadership Fund focuses on providing scholarship aid to graduating high school students residing in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. They seek students who have overcome significant challenges during their educational journeys and demonstrate a clear vision for their future and how their education will enable them to contribute to their communities. This organization distinguishes itself by employing intentionally vague selection criteria, aiming to provide opportunities to a diverse range of students who may not fit traditional scholarship recipient profiles. They prioritize identifying students with the potential to make a positive and lasting impact on their communities, regardless of their background or circumstances.
