Scholars may increase their scholarship accounts by giving back to their communities, participating in MEF events, and reporting their report card grades. The balance grows until the student graduates from high school. Scholars can earn over $2,000 each year.The matured scholarship is distributed equally among installments made annually upon acceptance to an accredited post-secondary school. MEF awarded a total of about $17,149.66 in scholarship expenses (disbursement for college tuition and related fees) to ten (10) students, accounting for 99% of the expenses in the academic program. 15608 0 0 Leadership Program: The MEF leadership program's primary purpose is to equip our students to be change agents and servant leaders in their communities. Each year, one of the primary activities that does this is the leadership conference. The 2024 leadership conference was held in September. During the Leadership Conference, students were paired with adult mentors who guided them through the Life Game, a simulation of living as an adult for a month. Scholars faced the difficulties of making sound financial decisions with the goal of "staying in the black" at the end of the game. They gained excellent financial insights from their various experiences, and many of them recognized that Ernest Grays, who served as our keynote speaker, discussed "Know Your Why." A total of about thirty persons (30) attended, including scholars, other teenagers, and adults. 5688 0 0 College Preparation- The purpose is to get our scholars ready for their post secondary ventures. We have several events throughout the year, outlined below are the 2 major event:1) College prep conference: Each class of scholars participates in a workshop specific to their needs. Some topics have included Career identification for 7th and 8th graders, Launching into the college experience for 12th graders. 2) College visits: MEF allows our scholars to visit a college campus. We provide reimbursement of up to $200 per scholar. We encourage our scholars to visit at least two schools of interest to learn more about the university and to experience the college campus. 10981 0 0 MEF has other programs such as the Mentorship program, Outreach to the Community, Scholar Incentives and Social Bonding programs. 10981 0 0 54628 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X JENNIFER CHANG 7733069655 9435 TRIPP AVENUE SKOKIE IL 60076 Jennifer Chang Executive Director- President 30 0 X 7200 0 0 Christine Toy Chief Operating Officer 10 0 X 7200 0 0 Mike Chang Board Member- Treasurer 5 0 X 0 0 0 Kyu Choi Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Alana Groves Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Raschele Himalaya Board Member 4 0 X 0 0 0 Jisu Kim Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Knight Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Chyna Norwood Board Member- Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Darnell Ross Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 De'Airius Salibi Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 14400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85162 0 0 58434 3547 143596 0 14195 14195 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11324 85162 32464 -21140 -21140 0 0 136651 14195 -21140 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14055 14055 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5264 250 5014 870 19 851 381 141 240 4885 4444 441 2696 2471 225 211 211 0 0 889 0 889 Supplies 395 0 395 Program Services 33037 33037 0 0 Donation Processing Fees 1154 0 1154 0 Meals & Other Business Expenses 794 0 794 250 250 64881 54628 10253 0 343562 386895 30000 343562 416895 7464 9027 7464 9027 X 305111 356085 30987 51783 336098 407868 343562 416895 71770 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 47260 162701 142306 105917 143595 601779 0 5271 6758 17010 11325 40364 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47260 167972 149064 122927 154920 642143 0 78616 65345 42036 36040 222037 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78616 65345 42036 36040 222037 420106 0 1191 2326 9978 14195 27690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1191 2326 9978 14195 27690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47260 169163 151390 132905 169115 669833 0.62718 0 0.04134 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED GOLF 35381 28521 6860 1431 0 5626 3750 0 7298 BANQUET 52925 50275 2650 200 0 4038 3954 0 3464 2 8180 6366 1814 753 0 225 116 0 1609 96486 85162 11324 2384 0 9889 7820 0 12371 32464 -21140 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Jenny Chang and Mike Chang are married Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 form is not currently presented to the Governing Body for review, but it will be in the future.
