Layeelah Muhammed, Envision Academy
College: Loyola Marymount University

Layeelah is Envision Academy’s 2018 winner of the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award.

Layeelah has been described as disciplined, dedicated and insightful. While she is not the loudest or most verbose student, her words are carefully chosen and impactful — and therefore powerful. She is a deep thinker and a fierce advocate for her peers and her community. She uses her skills in photography and videography to document her fellow students’ experiences, helping all of us to gain a wider perspective of each other. She has varied interests, but whatever she pursues after high school, we know she will be using her education to empower others. Layeelah will attend Loyola Marymount University next year to continue her education and advocacy!

ABOUT THE JACKIE ROBINSON SCHOLARSHIP
Each year, the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award of $1000 is given to one graduate from each Envision school who exemplifies Jackie Robinson’s commitment to service and excellence.  Mr. Robinson did more than break the color barrier in Major League Baseball: he was also the first in his family to graduate from college; he served his country in World War II; and he worked as a powerful civil rights advocate.  To be awarded this scholarship, students must:

 

  • Be first in their family to go to college;
  • Deliver an outstanding graduation Portfolio and Defense;
  • Exemplify a commitment to service and leadership;
  • Plan on attending a 4-year college or university in the fall after graduation.
