Excellence Meets Resilience
PROJECT PERSEVERANCE
PROJECT PERSEVERANCE

To support students who demonstrate character, drive, and meaningful involvement in their communities, particularly those who rise through adversity. In memory of Elisa Monique Richbourg, whose compassion and inclusivity shaped who we are. As her children, we created this award to honor the values she instilled in us.
Submissions begin on August 15th and end May 3rd.
To advance the mission of EMR Project Perseverance by recognizing students who continue to move forward through adversity and ensuring they are supported by the communities around them.
E — Empowerment
We believe in equipping students with the support and recognition they need to move forward with confidence.
M — Merit
We value consistent effort, growth, and the determination to keep showing up, especially when it’s difficult.
R — Recognition
We are committed to ensuring students are seen, supported, and not overlooked by the communities around them.
HIgh school: A senior must be nominated by a teacher, counselor, or staff member.
College: A senior can nominate themselves or another senior

We know the difference a school community can make when it shows up for a student. This scholarship invites teachers, counselors, and staff to recognize a senior or college student whose strength deserves to be seen. Being recommended is more than recognition, it reminds them they are supported and not overlooked.
