Our Crowdfunding Groups
We are pleased to share the application for the Dr. Tina Pierce Social Justice Scholarship. In this inaugural year, two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to Columbus City School alumni and graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated a commitment to community engagement, social justice or political activism!
Join us in sharing the application. Students can apply through an online application. Applications are due online by May 1, 2021 at 11:59 pm.
Applicants must be majoring in Political Science, African American and African Studies, Sociology, Public Affairs, Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies, Criminology, Criminal Justice or other social justice oriented major at The Ohio State University. Students selected for this scholarship will be expected to volunteer, connect and engage with current Columbus City School students throughout the school year. Scholarship recipients may then apply for renewal if they have met the service component requirement. This scholarship purposefully aspires to create a long-term, sustainable connection between current & past Columbus City School youth leaders.
