HISTORY
The Yarrow and Osafo Scholarship was founded in June 2018 by Moriam Yarrow and Elise Osafo, after an initial investment in PRGRSSN, a brand geared towards giving back to the community. With their return on investment, we decided to follow PRGRSSN’s mission and give away a portion of their money in the form of a scholarship, then later creating, YO Scholarship Foundation. The creation of the organization was based on the differing backgrounds of the cofounders, and using their experience to cultivate a holistic approach to improve the educational system. On April 24, 2020, YO became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The organization hopes to improve the lives of African American students and their communities through Internship, Scholarship, and volunteerism.
