We are thrilled to announce the four recipients of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Deloitte Youth Equity and Empowerment Scholarship, supported by the Deloitte Foundation. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship to help fund their college or credentialing programs.

Check out these four inspiring Little recipients.

M’racle

I am M’racle Bryant-Morgan, a determined and motivated sophomore at the illustrious Howard University in Washington, DC. I am a proud Bisonette dancer on the school award winning dance team. My purpose in life is to change the world and make a positive impact.

LaToria

My name is LaToria Campbell, and I am a senior at the University of Kansas, pursuing a Bachelor of General Studies in Communications with a minor in business. I’m honestly not sure what career I want right now because there are so many opportunities in Communications. However, I’m leaning toward being a Business Reporter or an Event Planner. Also, I recently fulfilled my global engagement goal by studying in the fall of 2022 at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. For the remainder of my time at KU, I intend to balance my studies and my Resident Assistant position with a few community service projects.

Shanaira

My name is Shanaira Bryant and I’m a senior at the Kauffman School. I’m very social and I’m willing to help others in any way I can. I’m very determined about anything I put my mind to and I’m willing to implement that in many different ways outside of school. I’m looking forward to majoring in chemistry and psychology.

Deajha

I am DeAjha Sherrils and I’m a senior at Center High School. I enjoy playing basketball and working. I plan to go to college to earn a degree in Nursing or Aerospace Engineering. I’m currently working towards enrolling in a program to learn more about those careers while I finish high school.
