LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Legacy Lab, Team One’s award-winning brand consultancy and thought leadership practice, announced today the call for submissions for its annual scholarship. Entering its fifth year, the scholarship will be awarded to a student who represents the next generation of legacy makers and future leaders dedicated to creating lasting and positive change in their communities and beyond. This year’s winner will receive $15,000 to put toward school-related expenses, as they work toward making long-term contributions to culture and society.
Building on the momentum from the past few years, the scholarship will continue to honor Black and African American students, specifically those who have an ambition to revolutionize an industry, change social norms, and bring change to their communities for generations to come.
“The Legacy Lab studies and celebrates people and brands who are making a lasting impact in the world. It’s a forward-looking platform that celebrates the future more than the past,” commented Julie Michael, CEO at Team One. “In that spirit, we continue our annual scholarship program which is designed to encourage the next generation of future leaders to pursue their highest aspirations.”
Last year, The Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship was awarded to Antoinette Banks, a Ph.D. student in the Learning and Mind Sciences program at UC Davis, who specializes in research around enhanced technology in special education classrooms – emphasizing predictive and artificial intelligence models. In addition to her remarkable research, Banks is also a published author of 'Better Than a Diagnosis: A Single Parents Guide to Autism' as well as the CEO of Expert IEP, a multi-award winning educational technology (EdTech) company that supports parents of students who learn differently.
“My mission is to create a lasting impact for BIPOC students with diverse learning styles – all research driven while deeply personal,” shared Banks. “The Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship is an impactful program, and the individuals behind this initiative are integral to my journey, for which I am profoundly grateful. This scholarship not only eased financial constraints but also empowered me to develop an advocacy roadmap that guides families with students in special education, helping them navigate the complex landscape of educational challenges.”
Looking ahead, Banks added, “Through my efforts, I aim to establish an enduring legacy that uplifts BIPOC students with unique learning styles, ensuring heightened success beyond the K-12 setting. If you're considering applying, I encourage you to take the leap! Your impact could be profound.”
The scholarship funds are designed to be an investment in ongoing education, to help the selected student achieve a personal ambition and subsidize school-related expenses. An ideal applicant would be an undergraduate or graduate level student attending college, university or a similar level program within the United States, studying with the intent of creating positive, enduring change. The application asks students to submit a short video response to questions about their field of study, contributions to their community and/or field, and aspirations post-graduation.
This scholarship is powered by The Giving Back Fund, an LA-based nonprofit that facilitates charitable giving. For more information on The Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship and application requirements, visit: https://www.givingback.org/legacy-lab-scholarship/.
The deadline for submission is Monday, Oct. 23, 2023 by 9AM PT and the selected scholar will be identified on Monday, Dec. 4, 2023.
