| Local Teens Win YWCA Scholarships |
| Youth Philanthropy to Award $100,000 in Grants to Local Charities |
Ten high school females have been awarded scholarships through the YWCA’s
Mamie Earl Sells Scholars program. Presented by Kroger, the YWCA Mamie
Earl Sells Scholarship recognizes female African American senior high
school students for academic achievements and qualities of leadership,
extracurricular involvement and community service.
The YWCA Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship Fund, established in 1993, provides
financial assistance to support the recipients’ post-secondary education
costs. Each Fall, nearly 50 applications from over 20 schools are accepted
and an independent panel of community leaders and educators makes the
final decision on the scholarship recipients.
The scholarship serves as a memorial to Mamie Earl Sells, a dedicated
community volunteer who gave her time, intellect, and enthusiasm to the
YWCA. The scholarship upholds the vision and leadership she provided to
the YWCA and its Career Women of Achievement program through enacting
her philosophy that we must “lift as we climb” by acting as role models to
the young women of today and tomorrow. The Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship
is awarded each year in coordination with the YWCA Career Women of
Achievement Luncheon. This year’s luncheon is Wednesday, May 11th.
This year’s honorees include Honorable Mentions each receiving a $250
Scholarship: Hemen Aklilu, Mother of Mercy High School; Leola Colvin,
Clark Montessori High School; Precious Gary, Oyler High School; Danielle
Udosen, Fairfield High School; Kayla Walker, Princeton High School; Felicia
White, St. Ursula Academy; Tianna Woodford, Purcell Marian High School;
Runners-Up each receiving a $1,000 scholarship: Miracle Flowers, Western
Hills High School and Janiah Miller, Newport High School; and Top
Scholarship Recipient receiving a $3,000 scholarship Sydney Mantell, North
College Hill High School.
The YWCA IS ON A MISSION to eliminate racism, empower women, and
promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. For more information

Magnified Giving, local nonprofit founded on the concept that philanthropy
can and should be taught, seeks to educate, inspire, and engage students in
life-long philanthropy. With exposure to local charities, students see the
potential of applying their own time, talent, and treasure to benefit others.
To conclude its 2016 student program, four (4) awards ceremonies will be
held where young philanthropists will award more than $100,000 in grants
to local charities.
At each ceremony, students from local high schools who have participated in
the Magnified Giving philanthropy program this past year will be presented
with the funding checks that they are awarding to their selected charity.
This year more than sixty (60) high schools across the region have
participated in the program, with 3,000 students participating. The students
have engaged in a process of evaluating potential charity recipients and
selecting one to which their student group is awarding the grant. For the
first time, the total annual awards to be granted are expected to exceed
$100,000.
Four separate awards ceremonies will be held:
• Tuesday, April 26th, 2016, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, at Covington Latin School, 21
E. 11th St., Covington, KY;
• Monday, May 9th, 2016, 4:00 to 6:00 pm, at Mayerson Jewish Community
