Recent Westerville grads set up scholarship for fellow students of color

Recent Westerville grads set up scholarship for fellow students of color Allison Ward, The Columbus Dispatch © Courtesy of Ameena Freeman Ameena Freeman, a 2020 graduate of Westerville North High School who helped found a scholarship for students of color at each Westerville high school. When protests against police brutality and systemic racism broke out nationwide last summer, Westerville was among the communities where people held rallies and put up Black Lives Matters signs.  Some teens in the northern suburb wanted to do more, though, to create lasting change.   A year later, they’re seeing that change in action as a group of recent graduates of Westerville City Schools helped raise enough money to award three $1,500 scholarships to high school students of color within the district. It’s called the “One Westerville Scholarship.”

She and her partner in the endeavor,  Alice Stevenson, a 2019 North graduate , know how important every dollar can be in college, especially for minorities.
