Hope Ignites Excellence Awards

We provide dynamic family-like environments, goal setting and mentoring, college and career preparation, life skills, financial literacy, as well as emotional, social, and spiritual support.

We instill in our scholars the value of being a person for others—to serve in their community, to recognize and reflect upon social issues they care deeply about, to believe they can be a change maker, to lead with confidence, and to pay it forward.

The Hope Ignites Partner in Hope Award is for a university, college, or other institution dedicated to creating pathways of awareness, access, and affordability for Hope Ignites scholar advancement in their academic journeys.

The Hope Ignites Hero of Hope Award is for an outstanding affiliate team member who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to contribute to the success of their affiliate, scholars, and the Hope Ignitess Network.

The Hope Ignites Legacy of Hope Award is for two members of our alumni community who exemplify the spirit of being well-educated, career-ready, and community-minded.

The PMT Excellence Awards, presented for the first time in 2024, recognize those affiliates with very high aggregate scores in Compliance and Key Performance Indicators over the past year. These affiliates serve as the Network’s role models for excellence in mission impact and operational execution.
