The I AM EQUAL FOUNDATION is a global scholarship initiative aimed at high-risk children in depressed economic situations who might otherwise languish in despair. We are committed to providing the guidance, inspiration, and resources necessary for these children to excel in their academic endeavors and realize the dream of higher education.

The I AM EQUAL FOUNDATION was established in response to the I AM EQUAL PROJECT, a world photo tour from creator Jason Beckett and international photographer Matt Spencer in an effort to focus the overwhelming response from the photo project into productive actions steps that effect the global condition.

Starting at age 11, the students have an opportunity to choose into the I AM EQUAL FOUNDATION scholarship program and begin an 8 year journey of academic and social development. As an organization we inspire and engage with these students for many years, encouraging them to place their personal value and contribution at the forefront of their consciousness. Yearly essays, and regular communication from the students ensure they are actively engaged in reaching their goals of academic excellence  and receiving the scholarship they work so diligently to achieve.
