The A.L. Harper Foundation is proud to announce Jaden Williams as its Spring 2026 Scholarship recipient.

Jaden is a sophomore at Morehouse College majoring in Kinesiology with plans of becoming a Physical Therapist.

When asked how his undergraduate experience has impacted or re-shaped his understanding of community he shared the following, โ€œSince being at Morehouse, I have grown not only academically but also personally and professionally. The community here has taught me that success does not come from waiting for opportunities to appear, you have to go out and create them. This mindset has pushed me to step outside my comfort zone and network with professors, classmates, and upperclassmen who share similar goals.โ€

Congratulations Jaden! ๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŽ“
