Spotlight on Success: Jewel Wood – A Year After the Johnston Ziegler Youth Leadership Scholarship
Spotlight on Success: Jewel Wood
It is with great pleasure that we share an inspiring update on our outstanding scholarship recipient for the graduating class of 2023. Jewel Wood, the recipient of the Johnston Ziegler Youth Leadership Scholarship, has continued to shine brightly in her journey toward personal and academic success.
“Winning the JZ Scholarship has impacted my personal and academic journey significantly,” Jewel stated about winning the JZ Scholarship. “Without this scholarship, the financial burden on my family and I would’ve been overwhelmingly difficult. In fact, there was a period of time where I had to deeply consider attending other universities due to financial costs. However, once I heard that I won the JZ Scholarship, it stirred a sense of hope that attending my dream school, Howard University, could be a real possibility.”
We could not be prouder of the positive impact Jewel is making in the lives of those around her. She is a testament to the power of youth leadership and the potential for change when young individuals are given the support and resources they need. Thank you for your continued support, which allows us to nurture the potential of remarkable young leaders like Jewel Wood. We look forward to sharing more success stories and updates with you in the future!
