Hi editors, looking at the current layout of the article, I was wondering if there was a better way to lay out the article. What would editors think of creating a new top-level section, Scholarships and programs, then creating subsections for Programs to contain information about My Brother's Keeper and Scholarships to contain information about scholarships? I plan to make a couple of additional requests to add some more program-related information down the road, but thought now might be a good time to take a look at that organization question. Let me know what you think! SKDKRachel ( talk) 22:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
