About 431 EXCHANGE

431 Exchange is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Dallas, TX, that focuses on adult learners—including returning students and heads of household—by providing scholarships, guidance, and advocacy to make higher education attainable. The organization preserves and elevates the multi-generational legacy of the Adult Education Center (AEC) of New Orleans through public history projects, storytelling, and documentary/book work alongside its scholarship programs. In recent years the organization has expanded its scholarship cohorts and public-facing activity: it reports supporting more than 130 scholarship winners to date and regularly publishes scholar profiles, news, and public programs. 431 Exchange is led by co-founders and board members connected to the AEC legacy and maintains an active web presence, events, and press outreach to promote adult education and civic engagement.
