About Metaiah Burns

My goal is to earn a degree in business with a focus in finance. I currently attend the University of Michigan, where I’ve been dedicated to working toward a career in the finance industry. With a strong passion for math and business, I also plan to earn my real estate license. Long term, I plan to own a business that combines my interests in real estate and finance. In addition, I aim to create a nonprofit organization that teaches young people the importance of financial literacy and helps them build strong financial foundations early in life. I’m passionate about making financial education more accessible because I’ve seen how learning basic financial skills at a young age can shape someone’s confidence, decisions, and future opportunities. Receiving this scholarship would support my academic journey and help me stay focused on reaching my career goals.
