Weekly Spotlights

Our Scholarship Spotlight highlights the story behind the award—whether it honors a legacy, supports a specific field of study, or uplifts a particular community. By featuring a different scholarship each week, we aim to show the depth and diversity of opportunities available to our students. 

Our Scholar Spotlight celebrates the individuals who make Central Scholarship proud—resilient, passionate, and purpose-driven students who are making the most of their education. These scholars represent a wide range of backgrounds and dreams, and their journeys inspire us all.

Follow along weekly as we share the stories that define our mission: opening doors to higher education and empowering the next generation of changemakers.

Our featured scholar this week is Jayon Samuels, recipient of multiple scholarship awards, including the Goldsmith Family Endowed Scholarship.

Jayon graduated from Bard High School Early College with a 3.9 GPA and SAT scores that placed him in the 91st percentile of students nationally. As a passionate and curious student, he has been driven to understand health disparities in his local community, and is currently pursuing a degree in nursing at Howard University. Way to go, Jayon!

The Goldsmith Family Endowed Scholarship is one of many annual funds offered by Central Scholarship to help close the tuition gap of students and ensure that they are able to pursue their educational goals. To learn more about this fund, please visit our Scholarship Directory.
