Please join me in donating to the Merk-Pento Leadership Scholarship.

We are establishing this scholarship to support a student in need of financial aid who has shown leadership potential through their actions. The first recipient, Roy Tanga, has impressed us with his tenacity and motivation to promote sound fiscal policy in Kenya. Among other accomplishments, he has spoken at the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget at the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. We have known Roy for several years and have admired his determination in pursuing his goals.

Coming from a family of very modest financial means, Roy recognized the need for a formal higher education to transform his passion into a career. This is where you can help. Your support for Roy represents an investment in the stability and prosperity of an emerging market.

Roy is currently working towards his Bachelor of Science at USIU-Africa in Nairobi.

Your donation to the Merk-Pento Leadership Scholarship will go to the US-registered 501(c)3 charitable organization of USIU-Africa and is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

We will match the first $1,000 in donations. You don’t have to donate $1,000 or even hundreds; any amount is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any support you can provide.
