JAYDEN ENIDASO FOUNDATION

This scholarship was made possible because of Jayden's discipline and dedication to getting a better education for herself while caring for two babies. Jayden is a 21 year old mom of 2 children and goes to South Western Illinois College pursing Psychology as a major. As I sat down in the living room and watched Jayden study while her two babies were crying and giving her hard time, I noticed she stayed focused on her goal; to make it through her studies. The Jayden Enidaso Foundation grew from her constant hard work! Enidaso meaning hope for all. 

JEF’s mission is to discover and help low income single parents to achieve their dream and support their children while in school. 

JEF’s vision is to see all low income single parents achieve their educational dream and provide resources to aid them in their goals.

Our core values are based on Integrity, honesty, trust, truthfulness, going the extra mile, Inclusiveness, diversity, and respect.

 

 Again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to come up with this organization in order to better help all single mothers discover their educational and life goals.
