Jeff Metcalf Internship
“From an equity perspective, the Metcalf program is really powerful: It allows people who can’t afford to do unpaid internships the ability to explore what they’re interested in.”
Edoardo Ortiz
HBCU and HSI Bridge Scholarship Program
“I wish more people from the [Caribbean] islands would take advantage of the Bridge program to learn and to broaden their perspective. I’m very grateful I was able to do so, and I’ll do all I can to encourage others to do the same.”

Milgrom Education Impact Fellowship
“The Milgrom Fellowship was one of the most influential opportunities I’ve had around education. It gave me the chance to explore and see myself not only as a teacher, but also in other roles that can have an impact.”
