YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR SCHOLARSHIP GRANT WINNER:
Brandon, IMENO Finance & Investing
Brandon is a determined high school senior who is passionate about bolstering financial literacy and money management skills. His entrepreneurial spirit guided him to develop a platform for furthering financial education and knowledge, IMENO Finance and Investing, which has garnered 1.3 million views and over 3,000 subscribers within a year on YouTube. He produces videos on several topics such as budgeting, consumer debt, retirement accounts and investing.
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR SCHOLARSHIP GRANT
Arielle Page, Arie’s Confectionaries
Arielle worked in various bakeries and hotels around Atlanta as a pastry chef before COVID-19 hit her business hard. She chose this career because it allowed her to express her creativity through food, which has always been a real passion of hers. Without letting the pandemic put a dent in her dreams, she realized that she could tap into a demand for desserts in her city and started developing her own recipes, and opened Arie’s Confectionaries. Arielle will put this grant towards realizing her goal of opening a bricks-and-mortar shop.
