Recipients
Year 2024-2025
Please join the committee of the Jeannette Strong Phillips Scholarship Fund, Inc., in congratulating two recipients for the 2024-2025 school year, Mr. Jayden of North Carolina and Ms. Ava of Virginia. These two individuals have proven themselves to be worthy of this year’s scholarship. I only wrote a little synopsis on each one below, to give you an idea of what dedication and hard work can achieve.
Mr. Jayden has been accepted into the Public Schools of Robeson County (PSRC) Early College). At such a young age, he has goals to graduate early college with honors, while obtaining a high school diploma and an associate degree. After graduation he intends do one of the following; apply to a graduate school to further his education pertaining to pharmacy, apply to the Air Force to become a part of the medical team, or to become a pilot. His letters of recommendations added to his many achievements; A & B Honor Roll, meeting AR goals, highest math proficiency score in the district, and the National Beta Club.
Ms. Ava is currently enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University. Determinations alone speaks volume of her commitment to further education. Ms. Ava has achieved an Associate of Arts and Science with Magna Cum Laude honors (2024). She plans to introduce herself as a working actress and playwright in the next five years. Her letters of recommendations were impressive. Ms. Ava presented numerous recognitions on her application; All State Chorus (2021-2024), International Thespian Society President/Eastern View High School (2021-2024), Outstanding Actress, Virginia High School League One-Act Competition (2022), and the Walker drama award received at Eastern View High School (2024).
Year 2018-2019
Please join me and the committee of the Jeannette Strong Phillips Scholarship Fund, Inc to congratulate the first recipient, Ms. Alisha Howard of North Carolina for the year 2018-2019. Ms. Alisha contacted me through her aunt, whom I have known for several years. Ms. Alisha’s determination alone speaks volume of her commitment to further educate herself. Ms. Alisha’s 4.0 GPA was impressive, considering some obstacles she had to endure. Ms. Alisha’s application, documents, recommendations and community service were all in line with the requirements.
First and foremost, I want to thank God for this wonderful opportunity. Please join me and the committee of the Jeannette Strong Phillips Scholarship Fund, Inc to congratulate the recipient of 2019-2020, Ms. Alisha Howard of North Carolina. Ms. Alisha was the only individual that applied and submitted her application as required. Ms. Alisha’s determination alone speaks volume of her commitment to further educate herself. Ms. Alisha’s continued 4.0 GPA is very impressive.
