Our story…

As a proud University of Illinois graduate and Founder of NextGen Scholars for Change, I believe the opportunities we receive should open doors for those who come after us.

After completing the Illinois Half Marathon in 2025 and 2026, I’m taking on my first full marathon in 2027 to raise funds for first-generation college students pursuing careers in public service.

Every mile I run is another step toward creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders. 💙I-L-L!🧡

Description

NextGen Scholars for Change invests in first-generation college students who are ready to become the next generation of public service leaders. NextGen was founded by a proud University of Illinois graduate, and several of our scholars have come from the University of Illinois. It's because of the opportunities that the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign provided that NextGen is able to pay it forward and help others students become the next generation of leaders.  I-L-L
