A Voice for Those Who Go Unheard: Taniya’s Journey from Self-Doubt to Purpose

“The mission for my life is to provide compassionate, structured support as a special education teacher, creating inclusive environments where students can develop resilience, self-awareness, and confidence. I’m committed to advocacy, growth, and service that supports long-term success for students and families.”

Fund My Mission Scholarships help financially support graduates of QL Coaching in educational pursuits, professional training, coaching, or certifications that align with their personal mission. Scholarships are awarded four times per year and there is no limit on the number of times an individual can apply (up to $10,000 max). This needs-based funding can empower the next generation to make a positive impact in their communities.

We know dreams don’t always fit a mold. That’s why, unlike traditional scholarship programs, Fund My Mission Scholarships can be put toward a variety of uses, including: certification programs, continuing education, networking opportunities, professional training, masterclasses, and more. We’ve funded dreams as diverse as college tuition, voice lessons, comedy coaching, and watchmaking mentorships.

All applicants must have attended at least one in-person or virtual KW Next Gen event in the last 12 months and completed (or be on track to complete) Quantum Leap Coaching. Fund My Mission Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors and adults under 30 at the time of application who otherwise could not afford the opportunity they are seeking to fund.
