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 $2,500 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 $18,500 in scholarship expenses (disbursement for college tuition and related fees) to twelve (12) students, accounting for 81% of the expenses in the academic program. 13255 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 2025 leadership conference was held in October. 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. A total of about thirty persons (30) attended, including scholars, other teenagers, and adults. 4991 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. 10250 0 0 MEF has other programs such as the Mentorship program, Outreach to the Community, Scholar Incentives, Social Bonding programs and Monster Opportunities. 10250 0 0 51269 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 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X JENNIFER CHANG 7733069655 9435 TRIPP AVENUE SKOKIE IL 60076 Christine Toy Chief Operating Officer 10 0 X 7200 0 0 Jennifer Chang Executive Director- President 30 0 X 1800 0 0 Mike Chang Board Member- Treasurer 0 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 9000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 97642 0 0 70031 4394 167673 0 17684 17684 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19178 97642 32974 -13796 -13796 0 399 0 399 399 0 0 PRIME Subscription Settlement 900099 30 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 171990 18113 -13796 0 9000 9000 8794 8794 150 150 283 73 210 5561 5561 3452 3452 1467 41 1426 Donation Processing Fees 2738 0 2738 0 Meals & Other Business Expenses 456 0 456 0 Program Services 32992 32992 0 0 64893 51269 13624 0 386895 496781 30000 30000 416895 526781 9027 11816 9027 11816 X 356085 455572 51783 59393 407868 514965 416895 526781 107097 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 162701 142306 105917 143595 167703 722222 5271 6758 17010 11325 19577 59941 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 167972 149064 122927 154920 187280 782163 80026 67518 53256 79363 95954 376117 0 0 0 0 0 80026 67518 53256 79363 95954 376117 406046 1191 2326 9978 14195 17684 45374 0 0 0 0 0 1191 2326 9978 14195 17684 45374 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 169163 151390 132905 169115 204964 827537 0.49067 0.62718 0.05483 0.04134 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED GOLF 45335 29010 16325 489 0 6861 6288 0 4487 GALA 68153 62809 5344 120 0 4612 4639 0 7455 2 7726 5823 1903 0 0 0 198 0 2218 121214 97642 23572 609 0 11473 11125 0 14160 37367 -13795 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Jennifer and Michael Chang, board members, are married.
