We celebrate our Takisha A Davis Scholarship presentation, awarding promising HBCU students across the country. The competition was fierce with over 70 initial applicants narrowed down to ten outstanding finalists representing schools including Florida A&M, Prairie View, Howard, and Spelman.

• Anthony H. Brown joins to help present the scholarships and shares news about his book "Inspire Me Moments"
• Special guest Pamela Davis emphasizes the importance of educational foundations and returning to basics in teaching
• Board members are introduced, highlighting the dedicated team behind A Better Chance for Youth
• Scholarship honorees in places 7-10 receive recognition for their leadership and community service
• Six scholarship recipients are awarded amounts ranging from $100 to $1,000
• Florida A&M University students dominate the competition with four winners, including the $1,000 top prize
• The scholarship continues Takisha Davis's legacy by supporting students with funds that go directly to them, not their institutions
• Scholarship funds can be used for essentials, books, dormitory needs, or personal expenses

Join our upcoming interest meeting on Wednesday to learn about our year-round student program for 7th-12th graders, which focuses on HBCU preparation, financial literacy, and college selection. You don't have to live in San Antonio to participate – we work with students nationwide.
