LEGACY IN MOTION starts here
Scholarships are one of the ways Juneteenth GVL puts freedom into action.
We don’t just award scholarships.
We invest in students who are doing the work, pushing forward, and choosing purpose.
Our scholars are seen. Supported. Celebrated.
Not as an add-on… but as the moment.

THE EXPERIENCE
SCHOLARS BRUNCH
Where scholars are the focus.
Our scholars are honored at the

This is not a moment tucked into a larger program.
This is a dedicated space where scholars are centered, celebrated, and recognized in a powerful way.

We honor their journey.
And we celebrate what’s ahead.
