“I can’t express how grateful I am for the Hyacinth Scarlett Scholarship! I am really in need of the help because I have to be fighting so hard along each day in school as I lost my mom and I took the courage to go to school regardless to fulfill the dream she worked so hard for. I will continue to lift up music in my community with the help of my church youth department.”
