The Equal Justice Initiative has announced 19 students as the winners of the 2023 Montgomery Public Schools Legacy Scholarship.
Two students are selected from each of the nine Montgomery high schools to receive $10,000. This year one of the schools opted to select three students instead of two which brought the total to 19.
The Legacy Scholarship program grew out of a new collaboration between EJI and the Montgomery Public Schools following meetings between new superintendent Dr. Melvin Brown and EJI leadership. Family, teachers, and counselors gathered to celebrate the new Legacy Scholars at EJI’s Legacy Hall after students were selected.
”We are incredibly excited to support these extraordinary young people who have distinguished themselves at their schools. Area students need to be supported, encouraged and affirmed when they work hard and strive to achieve greatness as these beautiful high school students have done. We look forward to naming many more scholars in the coming years,” said EJI director Bryan Stevenson.
This is the first year of the MPS Legacy Scholarship, and EJI plans on doubling the number of recipients next year.
