Adding onto her accomplishments, she has created a scholarship for women of color called the Don’t Stop Scholarship, officially shared in October 2020. The Scholarship works to honor and support young women of color in their higher education. Megan developed the fund in response to the underrepresentation experienced by women of color in education.
