OUR MISSION
About Us
The DreamT Foundation is a Non-profit organization with the mission of using finance to give underrepresented minorities in inner cities a transformative experience. We believe there is a gap in access. We hypothesize that financial literacy leads to generational wealth and inherently helps solve the problem of increasing diversity in the financial services industry.
As the world continues to become more advanced, we need to start the pipeline even earlier. The DreamT Foundation is a launching pad for young adults. Our program targets freshmen in high school and provides them with the tools they need to be successful over the next four years and beyond.
Our students receive a transformative experience. By the end of their first year, each DreamScholar will have learned the fundamental tools of investing and received $100 to deploy into the stock market. This hands-on experience gives our students an early advantage. Generational wealth starts with a change in mindset. We’re here to shift the culture!

Belkis T. Muhammed Scholarship
The Belkis T. Muhammed scholarship is in honor of Naeem’s mother, who ensured that he never paid for college textbooks. Even when she stopped working in 2010, she financed Naeem’s textbooks, allowing him to focus on excelling in the classroom. Students accepted into the DreamT Foundation are eligible for the scholarship once they have declared for a major in Finance, Economics, Business Administration or Accounting. Minimum 3.0 GPA requirement.
