The Making A Difference Foundation (MADF) recently announced its 2020 scholarship awards to ten students attending college throughout the nation.
The Making A Difference Foundation, located in Tacoma, Washington, and its President and Founder, Ahndrea Blue, believes that education is the greatest equalizer and force for change.
