OUR SCHOLARS
“I have been so pleasantly surprised in winning this scholarship! It was pretty exciting receiving the cool t-shirts in the mail and I was even more surprised when I found out I had actually won! Everyone involved has been super welcoming and encouraging and the video announcement of the winners was especially nice to watch. Winning this scholarship means that paying for college is less of a burden, and I would definitely recommend this scholarship because it simultaneously honors someone’s legacy and promotes community involvement.”

"My name is Karina Hernandez and I am a 2020 Calvin Butts Memorial Scholarship Recipient. I am so extremely grateful to have received this scholarship and live in the name of Calvin.This organization is not doing what they do for attention, they are doing it because they truly care about giving back to their community. In a world that seems so full of hate and cold hearted people, it brings me joy to cross paths with such genuine, kind-hearted people like the ones running this organization. They deserve all the positivity this world has to offer. Huge thank you to everyone who donated to the scholarship funds as well.”
- Karina Hernandez (Florida International University)
