WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“MKE Fellows has offered me the opportunity to pursue a college education and envision a path for myself that would lead me to my academic, professional and personal success. Everything I experienced has shaped me into the compassionate, driven, servant leader I am today. Without MKE Fellows investing in my education, my accomplishments would not have been possible.”
