Scholarship applicants are encouraged to engage with the 2050 TrailBlazers podcast episodes as part of their application. Applicants should also be actively involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and we are excited to hear about the initiatives they are implementing within their companies or the profession. Additionally, the scholarship recipient will receive a one-hour study strategy session with Rianka!

2050 TrailBlazers was created to spark conversation in unfamiliar spaces. The lack of diversity and inclusion has impacted the financial services industry and financial planning profession; the podcast and education platform leverages the insights of experienced guests to engage listeners on various topics surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion.

2050 TrailBlazers serves as a safe space for teaching audiences the why, how, and importance of being an advocate for the betterment of the industry as a whole, steering the conversation towards solutions to move the industry forward.

Huge thank you to Zahn Associates, Inc, who is making this opportunity possible! Check out the ways they are supporting financial professionals and assisting them in their journey to become a CFP® professional by visiting www.kenzahn.com.
