As a host, she has made it clear that she is the one to set the tone at your event. Neekko began her career during her studies at UC Santa Barbara and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communications. Her mission is to be an entertainer with a purpose by radiating light and positivity in every setting through her brand and platform.

NeeKKo believes education goes beyond the classroom, which is why she does not limit her scholarship opportunities just to those going to college, but those that also pursure higher education in other ways such as trade schools, vocational schools, cohorts, programs, and more!

She also believes that no matter how old you are you never stop learning, which is why she does not put an age limit on a student's eligibilty to apply for a scholarship either. The opportunity is all dependent upon a students' will to apply themselves and provide proof that they have sought a higher education opportunity to sharpen their knowledge and/or skill in whatever field they desire.
