Our Legacy

The Legacy Forward Scholarship is rooted in the personal journey of our founder, Jasmane Myles , who defied the odds to become the first in her family to graduate from college.

Her story reflects the mission of First Generation to the Next: passing down knowledge, experience, and support—student to student, generation to generation.

The Legacy Forward Scholarship is her way of opening doors, breaking barriers, and building a future where success doesn’t end with one graduate, but continues to the next.
