Brevard Student Chosen as Semifinalist for 'Leaders 4 Life' Fellowship Program
Brevard county student, Bailey Shaw, was selected among fourteen high school scholars in Florida as a semifinalist for the Take Stock in Children’s Annual Leaders 4 Life Fellowship program created in partnership with the Asofsky Family Foundation. The fourteen highly motivated scholars, who are amongst several thousand high school students statewide benefiting from Take Stock in Children, were selected based on their demonstrated strong leadership skills, moral character and academic success.
“We are so proud of Bailey’s accomplishments,” said Susan Knowles, Brevard County Take Stock in Children College Success Coach. “She is a hardworking and driven student who exemplifies leadership in all of her academic endeavors.”
The fellowship provides finalists with funds for textbooks and supplies, housing, transportation, food and other college-related expenses. The mission of this program is to enable these students to excel in a university environment by giving them the resources that empower them to develop their full potential as “leaders 4 life.”
