About Nisha Glen
Nisha Glen is the proud founder of Educated Girls Rock, a nonprofit that empowers high school girls to break educational barriers and excel academically.
Our mission stems from her personal journey, overcoming limited family support for higher education and ensuring no other girl faces these challenges alone. We change the narrative by recognizing student achievements, celebrating every step of their educational journey. Our scholarships, though modest, significantly support students’ dreams. We also encourage adult women to return to school, proving that education has no age limit. Through organized college tours, we expose girls to higher education opportunities, inspiring them to dream big. There have been tough times when giving up seemed easier, but our commitment to these girls and our community keeps us pushing forward. At Educated Girls Rock, we’re creating a ripple effect of empowerment and success, transforming lives and communities, one empowered girl at a time."
