32: National Freedom Day Can Include Freedom of College Tuition for Some

Today is National Freedom Day, which  is about the observance  "in the United States that honors the signing of a resolution that proposed the 13th amendment of the nation's constitution on February 1, 1865. Abraham Lincoln, who was the president at the time, signed the resolution to outlaw slavery. This anniversary is annually observed on February 1." (https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/national-freedom-day) I chose today to donate to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). I love school, learning, knowledge, and all things educational. I want everyone to love learning too. People think I am weird sometimes for loving school so much, but to each his own. I do love scholarships for a variety of reasons. Getting a reward for you excellence by earning a scholarship is wonderful and exciting. Having some or all of the financial burdens removed while going to school reduced more than just financial stress. 
The UNCF Scholarship program is "the nation’s largest private scholarship provider to minority group members. Each year, we award more than $100 million in scholarships to more than 10,000 students at more than 1,100 schools across the country, including our prestigious network of 37 HBCUs./We also manage a variety of scholarship programs, such as the Gates Millennium Scholars Program, the Walton-UNCF K-12 Education Fellowship and the UNCF/Koch Scholars Program."

The UNCF does provide scholarships, but UNCF also has programs to invest in our nations' K-12 students: https://uncf.org/k12advocacy.
