debuted this year in partnership with the Bulldogs Original Five. At their Legacy in Motion documentary screening and gala in February, the Trailblazers awarded the inaugural scholarship to Natalia Daniel, a member of the Mentoring Pathway Scholars Program.

“I’m grateful to CSE and the Mentoring Pathways Scholars Program. The most valuable lesson that I learned about myself through the course is that I succeed more when I ask for advice… They showed [us] that you should never feel ashamed to ask any question because everyone has room for improvement and space to learn new things.”
