Help Me Scholarship Program Eligibility & Requirements

Hello World,

It's with great pleasure that I present to you The Help Me Scholarship Foundation for African-American (black) children that attend Asbury Park High School.  We will be rewarding a student with a check for $250 to be used to help them further their education.  Like Naturals By Shauntay, this is my baby and comes from my heart.  The final touches have been placed on the packet and it's ready to go!

Yes, there are requirements that the child must meet, and make sure their guidance counselor signs off on their application packet.  All of the eligibility requirements and guidelines are in the application packet below.  The student will have almost 12 weeks to send in their application before the November 29, 2016 deadline.
Help Me Scholarship Application Packet
Was it the hardest thing to do?  No, as soon as I got started God guided me to the perfect application.  Won't he do it?!!  Am I nervous?  Yes, because I know I'll be judged for doing this (good & bad), but when God places something in your heart to do, you can't rest until it's done.  6 organizations gave me an opportunity when I received over $10,000 worth of scholarships to study abroad in Namibia, Africa, and that's what I'm doing for a student or students, giving them an opportunity.

My confirmation from God for this non-profit came last week when a woman walked up to me to give me advice at the supermarket, and I ended up asking where did she worship? Come to find out, she and her husband has a small church. I attended Sunday and was invited to some cookouts.  I had to turn them down due to my project deadline as I mentioned to her.  With what organization, she asked.  I'm starting it myself with my tithes, I told her.  "Send me the information and we will donate.  I'm a Delta, and this is a small church but we give!"

Now do you see why I can't stop?!  God is opening doors no man can shut and I'm going to walk right thru them!  School starts soon so if you have a child that attends or will be attending Asbury Park High School in Asbury Park, NJ this year, then tell them to make sure they see their guidance counselor to find out how, and if they meet the requirements for a $250 scholarship!! Visit HelpMeScholarshipfund.blogspot.com for more details.  Do you realize that blacks or African Americans in America spending power are in the trillions?!  So I thought, instead of spending on depreciating assets how about I invest in the children of the city I graduated.  #putyourmoneywhereyourmouthis #investinachild #countdown

Until next time.....Shauntay

Welcome

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the first post for the Help Me Scholarship Foundation.  The foundation in detail will be explained at a later date has a 2 part fundraiser aspect aside from the fund.  I will be sharing 1 part of the fundraiser; this is an ongoing fundraiser for the Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey Academy (FDMG Academy).
The FDMG Academy is a residential school in Virginia that Dr. Umar Johnson is trying to acquire for our black boys in America.  Seeing firsthand what is happening to my young princes hurts my heart then my mind, which makes me ask myself, what can I do for my people?  How can I help? Can I be inconvenienced?  If you continue to follow this blog, you'll see us answer those questions and so many more.

Below is a video explaining my first online Book Raffle fundraiser!  I don't know if this has been done before but I can tell you that I'm going to do it 5 times, so by the 2nd or 3rd time, I should be a pro.
Thank You Power in One for my shirt & bracelet.  They showcased at the Las Vegas "Dr. Umar Johnson Event"
Update: I received $75 and still have 2 books left to sell.  After all are sold the proceeds will be sent to the FDMG Academy, and then the Help Me Scholarship Foundation will be for the Asbury Park High School students only until the program grows.

Until next time.......Shauntay
