Monthly News for Our Donors & Partners
March 2026
Celebrating Our Favorite Day of the Year!
In just a few weeks, we will gather our scholars, mentors, donors, and staff at Ursuline Academy for our annual “Celebrating Our Scholars Brunch.” It’s one of the most inspiring days of the year for our community because we see firsthand the difference it makes when first-generation and non-traditional students are supported in their educational endeavors.
There’s still time to purchase tickets for the April 11 event, but if you are unable to attend in person, we hope you will consider donating to support our scholars. Becoming a monthly donor to The Chatfield Edge is a great way for you to pause for a moment each month to remember that your generosity is changing the trajectory of someone’s life.
Scholar Spotlight: Kiante Williams
After graduating from Walnut Hills High School, Kiante Williams knew what he wanted to do. He applied, and was accepted, to several colleges to get a degree in engineering. “But I just didn’t have the resources,” he said. “I ended up in jail because I tried to get the money illegally.”
Eventually, with jail behind him, a friend’s mother took Kiante under her wing. “She wanted me to go to college, but I had kind of given up on the idea. I thought I’d just do the best I could,” he recalled. “But when I had a son, she urged me to do more with my life and introduced me to people who she thought could help.”
Being introduced to The Chatfield Edge was a turning point for Kiante. Read more about how scholarship support and mentoring are helping Kiante pursue his dreams and support his son.
Webinar Series Wrap-up
Last fall, we launched our “Let’s Chat” webinar series to provide resources for our community. Together, we’ve explored time management, resume writing, goal setting, mentoring, self-care, and creative problem solving.
We wrapped up the series in March with “Mindset Matters: Grow Your Thinking, Solve Anything.” If you missed the webinar, we’ve got you! All the webinars are all available on our website’s events page.
