Aaliyah Melton – Woodbridge, VA
The Foundation for Eleanora R Spratt Scholarships (FERSS) is pleased to announce that we have awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Aaliyah Melton after reviewing and evaluating applicants’ community involvement, work experience, demonstrated leadership, and a personal essay.
“On behalf of the Foundation, we congratulate Aaliyah Melton for her excellent school accomplishments and personal self-improvement. We are always delighted to provide support to committed students, as they represent future leaders in our communities. I am sure that my mother, Dr. Eleanora R. Spratt, whose legacy of education and service to students, would be proud of Ms. Melton’s growth and determination as we commemorate another rising star with one of our scholarships. Aaliyah, we wish you much success in your upcoming semester at Norfolk State University.”
