Since their incorporation in February 2012, Jana Marie Foundation has devoted its energy to opening minds and saving lives through educational programming and community mobilization to empower young people in the Centre County region.
Our mission is to provide safe and nurturing peer support programming for children, teens and their families who have experienced the death of a loved one. Tides also raises awareness of the needs of grieving children in our schools and surrounding communities.
To provide financial resources and quality-of-life experiences to Penn State students with intellectual and mental health diagnoses, the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity will begin awarding the Osagie Scholarship in the coming year.
