ABOUT

The Exceeding Expectations Project and Scholarship Foundation knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. In 2019 our founder Rachel Hudson began looking for the best way to have a meaningful impact on her community. She realized two things, #1 people can't compete when the playing field isn't fair and #2 the key to success is access to information, resources and opportunities.  She noticed that when individuals are given the proper information and allowed access to the appropriate resources and opportunities, everyone has the capability to exceed society's expectations of them.
Being an African-American woman born and raised in Oakland, CA it is important to Rachel that children especially African American children that come from where she comes from are given a level playing field to succeed.
