About Our Foundation
Our Mission
The Marlene Correa Foundation is dedicated to expanding access to education and opportunity for individuals from underserved communities—regardless of gender—who face social and economic barriers to success.
Founded by community leader and entrepreneur Marlene Correa, the foundation invests in scholarships, mentorship, and support services that uplift low-income individuals, immigrants, first-generation students, and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that education is a right, not a privilege—and that empowering people through learning is the key to breaking generational cycles of poverty and building thriving communities.
The Marlene Correa Scholarship in Action
Meet Natali, Marlene Correa Scholarship Recipient
For Natali, nails were more than just polish and practice — they were a creative escape, a way to express herself, and a quiet dream of something bigger.
She began by teaching herself at home, not knowing if she’d ever be able to receive formal training.
Through the Marlene Correa Scholarship, she was given the opportunity to turn her passion into purpose. In 2025, Natali graduated from the Nail Technology Program at Gorgeous by Glam Academy and became a licensed nail technician.
Natali’s story is proof of what access to education can do. She didn’t just earn a license — she gained confidence, independence, and a future she can build on her own terms.
Now we need your help to continue our mission — to give more students like Natali the opportunity to rise.
