From mid-January to mid-February, the Be Better Foundation completed the collection of Semester 1 periodic reports from all 63 students currently receiving the “Change Your Future” scholarship.
For the Be Better Foundation, this milestone is far more than a review of grades and academic transcripts. It is a moment to truly listen — to hear each student tell the story of their own journey: the quiet, unseen efforts they’ve poured into every day, the moments they stumbled, and the quiet pride they felt when they pushed past what they once thought were their limits.
These periodic reports are not merely an administrative formality. They serve as a vital foundation for the Foundation to evaluate, reassess, and continue walking alongside each student into Semester 2 — currently expected to take place in July 2026.
The review and renewal process for the “Change Your Future” scholarship is conducted with full transparency, guided by four core criteria:
- Academic performance
- Sense of personal responsibility
- Perseverance through hardship
- A proactive mindset and commitment to self-improvement
With every semester that passes, one truth grows ever clearer to us:
Given the right opportunity and the right support at the right moment, these students will find the strength to carry themselves forward — on their own terms, from their own inner reserves. A scholarship does not simply cover tuition. It tells a young person that they are worthy of continuing to dream. When a student no longer has to lie awake at night worrying about next semester’s fees, they are freed — freed to pour their energy into learning, into growing, into building the long road ahead.
And behind every report submitted today stands the quiet, steadfast presence of our donors — those who have chosen to believe in the potential of these young people.
The Be Better Foundation continues on this journey. If you feel moved to contribute — to help even one more student walk confidently through the doors of a university — we are ready to receive your support, and we pledge to put every contribution to its rightful purpose.
