“Twenty-six students celebrated at the National Press Club on Friday [July 11] as part of the 15th Annual ScholarCHIPS Awards.
“Benjamin Banneker High School alum Yasmine Arrington Brooks [Leading with Conviction™ 2019] said it was a milestone for the organization since it was its largest class of scholars.
“‘Since its founding in 2012, ScholarCHIPS has invested more than $700,000 to support over 120 students, providing scholarships, mentoring, mental health resources, emergency assistance, technology, and career development – helping young people impacted by parental incarceration,’ according to the organization.
“‘Part of my story is that my dad has been in and out of jail and prison my whole life,’ said Brooks.
“The students will receive financial assistance to help offset the cost of their education.
“‘$1,750 a semester,’ Brooks said.”
