2024 Impact

SHAN awarded a total of over $21,487 to 11 survivors in support of their pursuit of higher education. They are studying across the country including Idaho, Washington State, Texas, Florida, and Hawaii! Two awardees graduated with their bachelor’s degrees.

Dream Big | We look forward to celebrating graduation for several of our renewal applicants! Over the last year we saw applications from Texas, Florida, and other states across the US. We consistently have to turn away applicants and gift less than a survivor’s requested amount due to funding constraints. Will you join us and send more survivors through school in 2025?
