Scholar Spotlights

Are you an honor roll student? Do you earn good grades? Maybe you don’t get the best grades, but you’ve worked really hard this quarter to bring up your math grade from a D to a C. If so, we are looking for you!

We would like to spotlight all of our young people who understand the importance of education and strive everyday to prove it! All we need for you or your parent/guardian to do is submit your first name, state, age, grade and academic accomplishment that you worked so hard to earn to us at contribute@youngblackstarz.org. In the subject line put in SCHOLAR SPOTLIGHTS! A picture of you is recommended but not required. Maybe if you got an award or a trophy you can send a picture of you holding it up! Also, your parent may submit a brief note about you.

Our goal is to motivate young people to do the best that they can in school. It’s important to us that we inspire our viewers to excel in the classroom and bring home a report card that makes their parents proud (and more importantly, themselves)! We would also like to help those who may not make the best grades, bring their grades up by knowing that we support those that try. Education is very important and it’s important to us that we stress that. Let’s show the world that it’s COOL to be SMART!

How can I be in the Spotlight?

You can be in our Scholar’s Spotlight if you…

• Made the Honor Roll
• Pulled your grade up
• Won an academic award

WHAT DO I GET?

Every month we will make a post under our education section dedicated to all the young scholars who submit, sharing with the world what you’ve accomplished! Let’s just say we will all celebrate with you! We think that getting good grades calls for a celebration, don’t you?! Eventually we may start giving out small rewards to select scholars for their achievements!
