Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly — such as when you apply for a scholarship or grant, make a donation, subscribe to updates, or contact us. This may include your name, contact details, family or organizational information, and the contents of your messages.
How we use it

How we protect it
We treat applicant and donor information as confidential. Access is limited to those who need it to administer programs. We maintain reasonable safeguards and retain records in accordance with our document retention policy.
What we never do
We never sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties except as needed to operate (such as a payment processor) or as required by law.
