Julia

Abused as a child, Julia grew up with the opposite of everything a child should have – no love, no education, no hope for the future. But when she became a mother, she found the strength to fight for a better future for her own daughters… and then she found EARN. “I’m changing the cycles of my family, because my kids are growing up with a totally different knowledge of money and saving and college,” she says.

Julia and the girls saved their money in EARN’s special matched scholarship accounts for children. Just like EARN’s traditional matched accounts for adults, these scholarship accounts teach families how to save and then match their savings for life-changing investments in education. Julia’s daughters are using their EARN funds for after-school programs that prepare them for college, and they’re keeping on saving so they’ll be able to afford college when that day comes.
