2023 Scholarship Recipient - $1,500

D’Shawn Thomas is a freshman at the University of North Caroline (UNC) Chapel

Hill. He began his career journey early by graduating from a college high school

with an associate degree and a high school diploma. His recommendation letter

says that he is a student that exemplifies a high level of intelligence and academic

skills. He maintained a 3.9 unweighted and 4.5 weighed high school GPA and a

4.0 college GPA.


His goal is to make a difference in the world by helping others overcome mental

illness. He wants to become a psychologist. D’Shawn understands the meaning

of giving back and helping others. Currently, he is volunteering at the Carolina

Living and Learning Center Facility where he cares for adults with intellectual

disabilities by helping them learn, participate, and socialize in varying activities.

COVID-19 in his junior and senior years in high school was devastating to many of

his friends because of the lockdown. He decided to put a plan into action and

made time to call people or invite them to play video games online. He is

determined to push through and complete the tasks to become a psychologist.

2023 Special Award Recipients - $500

Leric Scriber attends Temple University where she is a freshman. She wants to

become an Oral Surgeon and focus on the minority communities who lack

education surrounding oral health. Once she achieves her goal, she will ensure

that those around her are educated, healthy, and smiling with their pearly whites.

She has volunteered with the ARC of Southern Maryland where she organized a

meal delivery event for the residential homes that belonged to the ARC. She

mentioned that volunteering for The ARC reaffirmed her love for helping the

community.


“Giving Others A Dream” means providing hope to anyone who needs it and

advocating for those who can’t begin or complete their dream on their own. It

means always nurturing a safe environment so that others can feel that their

dreams are worth chasing, and most importantly, obtaining. In other words, she

said that “Giving Others A Dream” simply means lifting others when all the world

seems to be doing is pushing them down.

Mekhi Corbin is a freshman at North Caroline A&T State University where he will earn a bachelor’s degree in finance. His mission is to empower people to take control of their financial lives, by providing personalized financial planning and advisory services. Mekhi’s strong leadership skills were instilled in him since childhood. He has volunteered in many capacities, such as a junior leader in a Men Mentorship program where he assisted underprivileged individuals. He also volunteered at a Men’s Homeless Shelter in Washington D. C. through a non-profit organization. He said that volunteering at the shelter boosted his confidence, provided a sense of pride, and made him feel accomplished. 


To him “Giving Others A Dream means creating an opportunity for individuals to envision a brighter future for themselves. It means providing support, encouragement, and resources to help them achieve their goals and aspirations. It's about showing care and empathy and helping people overcome obstacles so they can realize their full potential.

Arianna Hawkins is currently majoring in architecture at the University of North

Carolina at Charlotte. She is in her second year and looking to acquire her

bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture. After obtaining her license, she

wants to advocate for change and design sustainability. She said we must find

new ways to design buildings, such as using materials with a longer lifespan,

incorporating plants, and using passive design strategies, to preserve the

resources on earth and decrease our carbon footprint. Along with making new

buildings sustainable, she wants to assist with redesigning minority communities

while keeping them accessible.


Another goal of Arianna is to create safe spaces and shelters for people who are

homeless. She wants to design a place where they can feel comfortable when

hard times have struck. To give others a dream means to uplift them in many

ways such as being kind or taking a chance on someone. It can also be as simple

as inspiring someone or giving them the support that they may not have. As a

young black woman, she said it is extremely important because black people get

overlooked in many spaces, and all it takes is one kind person to completely

change the trajectory of someone's life.

 Our college care packages are extra special because we solicit input from the students for specific snacks, health and beauty, haircare, school supplies, and other items that they would like to receive. Some students find that once they're away from home, they are unable to locate some of their favorite items. 

Wishing you success as you continue your educational goals!
