“As a first-generation college student with parents who immigrated to the United States, I was always told to build as many connections as I could so that I would open up more opportunities to be successful in life. It amazes me that there is someone out there who is investing in me so that one day I could potentially invest in others.” Cheikh Ndiaye/New York, NY

For a long time that dream seemed as though it would never become a reality, but with the opportunities and scholarship support I found at UPIKE, my wishes became more than a dream. They became possible.” Maddie Smith/Belfry, KY
