Dezmond Covington: A Vibrant Voice in the Baltimore Community
Dezmond Covington, a senior and a member of the Morgan State University Choir, has been a Central Scholar since 2016. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, he has been awarded $15,000 to help fund his education.
This summer, Covington performed for an audience of Central Scholarship supporters, including Broadway actor, and Tony Award-winning Central Scholarship alumnus, Andre De Shields. It was a momentous experience providing a glimpse of the talent that has been coursing through the veins of Central Scholarship for generations.
