Alana Ethridge (profile) is doing her part in the community by giving back. Alana is offering twenty $50 scholarships, through her organization Alana’s Achievers, to help less fortunate youth pay the cost for after school programs. The scholarships will be offered to kids from ages 4 to 16. Gas cards will also be awarded to parents who transport their kids to and from extra curricular activities. Alana, who believes that “You have to give back, always,” is very active in her own organizations which involve helping others and instilling a love for education in her peers. Steven Haynes, President of Athletes for Education, says of Alana:

In so many ways she’s a young adult, but she never forgets to have fun. She’s able to roll into her personality the dynamic duo: Alana the entertainer who acts and is in commercials and on television; and Alana the kid, who just relates to other kids on a level that is so amazing. She makes them feel special; every one of them.

Youth wanting to apply for Alana’s Scholarship have until the end of August. For more information and/or an application, you can visit AlanaEthridge.net. Take a look at the attached video of Alana speaking about how she came up with the idea to give back in such a way.
