Charles B. Brazelton was a beloved son whose life was taken too soon at the age of 23, due to gun violence in Chicago.

Gun violence touches countless lives, from children involved in school shootings to victims of domestic violence to those injured or killed due to crime. In order to create a safer world, it’s critical that the next generation of students who are passionate about reducing gun violence are encouraged as they begin their careers.

This scholarship aims to honor the life of Charles B. Brazelton by supporting students who are active in their schools and in their extracurricular activities.

Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student may apply for this scholarship.
