Helping Low Income University Students
At many of our universities across the nation, there are students who are on full financial scholarships, but who still cannot afford laptops, textbooks, and even clothing.
We can help
Milaana is a non-profit organization that seeks to eliminate financial barriers for low-income university students, allowing them to have a more flawless educational experience. Milaana, which means "to bring together", provides a forum for students to share their inspiring stories and connects them to university parents, faculty, and outside donors to cover their expenses.

Students are the future. You'd be surprised at what a huge difference a little bit of your time can make.
Milaana Helps Its First Student!
In September 2018, we were able to help our first student from Vanderbilt University. This student is currently a senior and a recipient of a full scholarship, but did not have the funds to buy a functional laptop. Performing their studies with a near-broken laptop for the past three years was putting a extreme burden on their education and was keeping them at a severe disadvantage. Milaana connected this student with an anonymous donor who bought the student a new laptop! Here is what the student had to say after receiving this gift:
"The laptop donation was really empowering. Now that I have the tools I needed to succeed, I've been feeling like nothing can really stop me now."
