"The City Scholars® Fellowship for Education is beyond supportive - and a perfect example is the type of support I received when our PPP Round 2 loan was declined late in the game when reportedly funding was exhausted. Foundation Fellows immediately offered insights and assistance, including Roberto Martinez (CEO, Boys & Girls Club of Camarillo) who reached out to his Board Chair to help identify and engage alternate lenders. Thanks to Roberto, Happy Trails for Kids was able to secure a second PPP loan. I can say with absolute certainty, the ONLY reason we are in a position with some viability is because of the Fellowship for Education."
