The Pay It Forward Initiative
The Pay It Forward Initiative is inspired by the support the Foundation’s founder received in pursuit of graduate studies at various universities.
Therefore, this initiative aims to “pay forward” the generosity contributing to the founder’s success. There is one request of the grant recipients: once they achieve success, they help others attain access to graduate education.
