The LIT Scholarship

The past several months have been tough for all of us. They have revealed longstanding issues of health disparity, economic disparity and flat out racism and inequality that our country has faced for years.

Our goal is to help educate and inspire the next generation to make a transformation in our community. We will continue to live out this goal as we figure out the best ways to help during this time. We encourage everyone to take a look at their community and find ways to get involved. This fight will require us to come together. Our stance is clear, to us and we will continue to pour into the education and training of the next generation of great Black leaders. Stay safe.
