Scholarship Winner Announced
Financial Aid Fair Workshop at Annual Conference in Birmingham

Lakeya Humphrey, a senior at Holy Family High School, was the winner a $750 scholarship given at the Financial Aid Fair Workshop. The workshop was an event held on Saturday, February 14 prior to the start of the annual conference in Birmingham. Over 150 attended the workshop.

Lakeya said that she was very happy to receive the scholarship. She said that she did not know where she was going to get the funds needed to pay for her college costs. This scholarship along with support from family and friends will make it possible. She plans to attend Alabama State University and major in Early Childhood Education. Lakeya hopes one day to open her own day care center.

Her high school counselor describes her as being easy to work with and said that she will have a prosperous and positive future. Lakeya come from a family that supports higher education. She is the third in her family to attend college. Over 98% of the students who graduate from Holy Family High School go on to college.

“The workshop was great,” reports Lekaya. She said that it gave information that she and her friend were not aware of. The information about loans and certain scholarships from different school proved to be very helpful. The workshop also helped her with completing the FAFSA.
