The Urban League of Northwest Indiana will not let the Covid-19 Pandemic stop the celebration of their scholarship recipients.
On Thursday, June 25th from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., the organization will feature each scholarship winner virtually via Facebook live as they walk the “Scholarship Red Carpet” at the headquarters located at 3101 Broadway in Gary.
“Education is one of the greatest pillars of our mission,” said Urban League of NWI President and CEO Dr. Vanessa Allen-McCloud.
For years, the organization would host a tri-county (Lake, LaPorte and Porter) scholarship luncheon where the youth were honored in front of their families, educators and peers.
“We are so excited that the team at the Urban League of NWI Indiana has developed a creative way to honor the scholarship winners,” said Board Chairman Dr. Thomas L. Keon, Chancellor of Purdue University Northwest.
