MARY C. TIEDEMANN SCHOLARSHIP FUND

RIVER FUND approaches access to education as the main, realistic tool for our families to move beyond the lines of poverty. The insurmountable costs associated with higher education can make a tremendous difference for students - staying in school or dropping out. Mary C. Tiedemann Scholarship Fund helps to relieve pressure and offers bridge grants to students so that they can focus on their education with the goal of completing their degree. Supporting students, throughout their educational journey, not only leads to individual outcomes within their field of study, but more importantly, their gainful employment.

The RIVER FUND as a whole has played a major role in making me into the person I am today.

Josselyn

Thanks to this scholarship I am able to focus and feel as if my career path is not as fictional as I once thought it was.

Joseph

I am very grateful to be where I am in life and the RIVER FUND and MCT Scholarship have changed my life in so many ways. I can’t stop saying thank you!

Our RIVER FUND family battles on the frontline. We are the first step towards placing every family above the poverty line that acts as a barrier on the path to a prosperous life. I am

so glad that I am a part of the journey.

Kavindra

The Mary C. Tiedemann Scholarship effectively provides the needed support and funding to close these gaps, making it possible for me to continue my academic journey.
