Join Motivos on Thursday, November 14th via Zoom for “How Can You Afford Your Future? College, Funding Options, and Alternative Paths." We will bring together university, trade school, military scholarship personnel, employers who fund degrees, and counselors to discuss the creative ways to afford college, alternative opportunities to continue your education and how to afford the future you want.

We’re excited to take advantage of the opportunity a virtual roundtable provides to convene experts and participants to share insights, opportunities, challenges and successes. Come listen, learn and leave with new ideas on how to afford the future you want to create.

Date and Time: Thursday, November 14th 6-7:30 pm (EST)

Venue: Motivos Zoom Room- virtual

Link to attend: https://bit.ly/MotivosZoomRoom OR Zoom Meeting ID 267 283 1733 Password: Motivos

Invited: Parents, high school counselors, students – anyone concerned about affordability of education after high school

Agenda: With college costs rising and enrollment declining, we’ll have an honest conversation about the value of a college degree, ways to make it more affordable, non-traditional educational pathways and the pros and cons of each. Panelists will join us from traditional university, trade school, military scholarship program, and company-sponsored certificates and degrees.

Our hope is that all who attend will leave having made valuable connections with experts on the topic and at least a couple of new ideas on affording post-secondary education. Please share the event link with colleagues at CBOs or high schools who you think would be interested and reach out if you have any questions or suggestions.

Public Service Announcement:
What does it mean to decide to lead? And, will you?
It may seem like leaders are born with confidence, blessed with talent and graced with wisdom but there's more to it. Leadership takes practice. And discipline. Critical thinking. It's not a gift. It's a choice. You can decide to lead. One path to consider on your leadership journey is the ROTC Scholarship program. It provides a platform to practice your leadership skills. It can also pay for your college education and start you off in the real world in a leadership position.

The US ARMY ROTC scholarship is the largest scholarship program in the country and can pay for your education even through to becoming a lawyer or doctor.

If interested, you can contact a Philadelphia area Scholarship and Enrollment Officer for more details or fill out the interest form for someone in your area to reach out to you here: bit.ly/3G3jIn5

On a recent flight on Southwest Airlines, I found myself grateful for the way their company walks the walk. They support bridging the college access gap by covering flight costs for college students in need. They've entered markets where no competition existed, thereby forcing prices down and making air travel more affordable. I've personally experienced the hospitality of their employees, the willingness to share resources, the infusion of humor into mundane tasks. Bravo Southwest! May we all strive to spread kindness and smiles.

Feel free to drop the name of a company or organization you feel walks the walk and why!

~Motivos Founder, Jenée

Way to go Big Al!
Motivos' Ed Weinberg interviewed Al Harford for the cover of our Spring 2008 edition shortly after he was drafted to the NBA. Now, at 38, he has fulfilled his long-held dream of clinching an NBA Championship!

On Monday, June 17, 2024, Al Horford became the first Dominican to win an NBA title. Tied as the fourth-oldest player to do so, he contributed as a starter, with 9 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists in 31 minutes.

Ge gives God the glory. We give him our salute: our 'Once and Future Champion'!



¡Bien hecho, Big Al!

Ed Weinberg de Motivos entrevistó a Al Harford para la portada de nuestra edición de primavera de 2008 poco después de ser reclutado por la NBA. Ahora, a los 38 años, ha cumplido su sueño de ganar un campeonato de la NBA.

El lunes, 17 de junio de 2024, Al Horford se convirtió en el primer dominicano en ganar un título de la NBA. Empatado como el cuarto jugador más viejo en lograrlo, contribuyó como titular con 9 puntos, 9 rebotes, 2 robos y 2 asistencias en 31 minutos.

Él da la gloria a Dios. ¡Nosotros le damos nuestro saludo: nuestro 'Campeón de Siempre'!
