Abigail O. Adewunmi was a beloved daughter and sister who passed away too soon after a courageous battle with DIPG. Abby passed at just sixteen years old and was not able to live out all of her post–high school dreams.

Affectionately known as “Miss No Stress,” Abby approached life with a calm spirit, quiet strength, and deep faith that guided her through even the most difficult moments. She had an unwavering trust in God and a peaceful demeanor that drew people to her, offering comfort and reassurance to those around her. Abby believed in celebrating the good in life and walking forward with faith, perseverance, and grace.

Abby loved learning and had a wide range of interests, including math, science, art, music, history, and current events. She was deeply curious and committed to growing her knowledge, viewing education as both a gift and a responsibility. Abby sought to use what she learned to serve others, guided by her faith and genuine care for people—whether family, friends, or those she had never met.

Through this scholarship, Abby’s legacy lives on by supporting students as they pursue their educational goals with purpose, determination, and faith, values Abby embodied throughout her life.

Any Black, female-identifying high school senior who will attend a four-year college starting in the fall may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have completed at least one hundred hours of community service. However, applicants who will major in STEM are preferred.

To apply, tell us about your college and post-college goals, what your community service background is, and how you plan to continue serving others in the future.
