We're proud to announce that at the Spring Benefit we awarded $7,000 in scholarships to five deserving Boston Public School seniors! The winners are Kennysha Wrencher and Shelle Gaye of The English High School, Raslyn Richardson and Jessenia Nunez of Greater Egleston High School, and Aisha Dhubow (pictured right) of Monument High School. Congrats to all our scholarship recipients!
Aisha Dhubow, winner of a $2,000 scholarship, has served as a teen tutor with 826 Boston this school year. In her winning essay, Aisha wrote, "Soon after I began working with these students... I began to have a burning passion to be an educator." She will study early childhood education this fall at The University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
We're also proud to welcome back past scholarship winners, Edwin Gonzalez and Dinela Gjecka, who have returned as part-time staff in our Summer Fellows program. Many thanks to Holly McGrath and David Bruce, who are major sponsors of our scholarship program and also made this new fellowship program possible. We're grateful, too, to Jaime and Chris Reid for founding and continuing to support our scholarship program.
