Our volunteers and staff work to further our fundamental tenet: getting knowledge into practice.

Making an Impact

Thanks to our scholarship and fellowship donors, many students like Frank-Nelson Musemate have been able to achieve their career goals and positively change their communities. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Musemate saw the impact of a failing infrastructure firsthand when a bridge close to his home collapsed, leading to loss of lives and property. He reasoned that the best way to help his community was to pursue a civil engineering degree. You can read Musemate's full story by clicking here.
