The Monica A. Polk Memorial Scholarship is named in honor of our founders' niece, Monica A. Polk, who tragically lost her life to domestic violence in October 2001. Each year, our nonprofit will award scholarships to two deserving college students who have experienced a similar loss, like Monica's children. Each recipient will be granted $500 to support their undergraduate studies.
