Last Mile Campus Ambassador Program
Congratulations! On behalf of our Board and staff, we are excited to have you join the Last Mile Education Fund family as a Campus Ambassador.
While most scholarships seek to identify ‘top’ talent and reward them with support—as long as they stay on top, the Last Mile Education Fund takes an investment approach, identifying young people committed to technology and engineering fields, providing support for challenges they face beyond their control, and incubating them to be the next generation of innovators.
We are delighted to have you help us spread the word! Your willingness and dedication is greatly appreciated.
