Prince Justice Memorial Scholarship
The Prince Justice Williams Memorial Scholarship celebrates the inspiring life of Prince Justice Williams, a cherished son, friend, and aspiring barber whose journey was prematurely ended by complications from Sickle Cell Disease. Despite the profound physical and mental toll of Sickle Cell, Prince Justice was a true warrior who pursued his passions, including music production, with unwavering determination. He demonstrated that even in the face of significant health challenges, dreams are within reach.
This scholarship is established to honor Prince Justice's memory by empowering students who, like him, are navigating health struggles while steadfastly working toward their academic and professional goals. We believe that no medical condition should diminish one's potential or extinguish their aspirations.
Who Can Apply: We invite applications from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students, age 17 or older, who are living with Sickle Cell Disease. Eligible applicants include high school seniors, high school graduates, and students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or trade school programs. We especially encourage applications from low-income individuals and those with volunteer experience, particularly in the Sickle Cell community. Age and GPA will not be factors in the selection process.
Application Requirement: Please submit a personal statement that describes your journey with Sickle Cell Disease, explains how you manage its impact on your life, and highlights the sources of inspiration and focus that drive you toward your objectives.
