Uplift Community Alliance recently had the opportunity to share its mission with a wide audience through a special radio interview. Carrie Drown and Merilynn Kessi represented Uplift during a recording of “Punto de Encuentro con Pablo Tellechea.” The interview took place on Tuesday, March 3, at the Eccles Broadcast Station on the University of Utah campus. 

The goal of the Uplift Community Alliance Educational Scholarship Program is to alleviate financial barriers and empower students with demonstrated financial need by providing full tuition scholarships. For the 2025-26 school year, we provided 15 underserved students with scholarships, nine at Salt Lake Community College and six at the University of Utah. Two students graduated after the fall semester, one from Salt Lake Community College and one from the University of Utah. Five students graduated in May: two from Salt Lake Community College and one from the University of Utah
