_how-one-billionaire-lost-millions-and-left-underserved-scholarship-students-in-limbo.webp "On March 21, the roughly 70 employees of the Schuler Education Foundation, based in the affluent suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois, were summoned to an emergency all-hands meeting. Over the past two-plus decades, the nonprofit founded and funded by a former president of healthcare giant Abbott Laboratories, Jack Schuler, had spent at least $150 million counseling and tutoring more than 1,800 low-income students from Chicago and Milwaukee-area high schools to help them gain admission to elite colleges; those colleges in turn covered most (if not all) of the students’ tuition and other costs.<br/><br/>The employees, who first had to certify they wouldn’t record anything, were let into a Zoom room where the nonprofit’s executive director Joanne Bertsch read from a script announcing that the foundation would shut down on May 24. Everyone would be let go except for a skeleton crew of seven college counselors left to support students through August. <br/><br/>0:00 Introduction<br/>0:15 How Our Reporters Found Out About Jack Schuler<br/>3:05 Reporting On The Schuler Foundation<br/>5:45 Losing Money In The Market<br/>8:50 The Role Of Healthcare Stocks<br/>12:23 The Impact On Students And Colleges<br/>16:05 How The Foundation Behaved As Their Investments Lost Value<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2024/04/16/inside-the-collapse-of-a-former-billionaires-foundation-for-low-income-students/?sh=b52a7d62f78b<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

Maybe that’s the first and only chance given by a fate that has never been fair to you. The name of that chance that will change the fate of eighteen-year-old high school student Eylul (Oyku Karayel) is Ali Asaf Denizoglu (Gokhan Alkan). The story begins in a high school of a town in the Aegean region. After the two part ways, they cross paths again on the roof of Istanbul’s best hospital! The young brain surgeon Eylul tells her story while she gives a good beating to a group of bullies who raids the hospital’s emergency room. She was a rebellious girl who had changed schools many times and whom teachers didn’t want to deal with. Even when her father picked her up from the last school she got expelled from and beat her very bad, she did not shed a single teardrop. However, that day her whole life changes; the prayer of her grandmother, who ran a small hostel in Marmaris and opened her house to Eylul brings a miracle. \")
