Rise Up 2026 Houston Urban Scholars Scholarship Campaign
đź’• A Message from Shun:
I’m asking you to support our graduating seniors because they are right at the edge of everything they’ve worked for—and what stands between graduation and what comes next often comes down to dollars.
They’ve pushed through challenges that would have stopped many. They’ve stayed committed, shown up, and earned this moment. But even after being accepted into college or trade school, costs like deposits, books, housing, and transportation can stand in the way.
This scholarship helps remove those barriers so they can take that next step with confidence.
Your gift ensures their hard work carries them forward—right now, when it matters most.
