Congratulations 🌟
Congratulations to Jiaya Smith, a 2026 Seeds of Hope Scholar!
Jiaya received a $20,000 scholarship and will attend North Carolina Central University, where she plans to pursue a double major in Business and Elementary Education.
Her goal is to become an elementary school teacher who inspires confidence, encourages growth, and helps students reach their full potential. In the future, she hopes to use both her education and business background to serve in school leadership or open an educational learning center.
We met Jiaya through our valued community partner, Goal Achievers, and are excited to walk alongside her as she begins her college journey.
Congratulations, Jiaya! We can't wait to see all you accomplish.
