Amari was very diligent in
her college search and selected 24 universities that have
well-known medical programs. Amari received admission to all
of them with various merit scholarships which include Howard
University, Spelman College, Hampton University, University
of Michigan and Baylor University to name a few.
In February 2020, The
Ohio State University
selected Amari to receive their acclaimed John
Morrill Scholarship of
Excellence Award which will cover her full tuition for four
years and, in turn, OSU invited Amari to return and
interview for the OSU Distinction Scholarship that will
cover all costs (full ride) associated with attending the
university for four years.
On March 3, 2020, Amari
received the call from the Grace Johnson, PhD, OSU Chief of
Staff of Diversity and Inclusion informing her that she
received the prestigious John Morrill Award of Distinction!
Per St. Ursula College
Counseling Department, Amari has received over $776,350 in
college merit scholarship awards to date. Amari has also
received additional scholarships for her community service
in the African American community. Amari's parents are
humbled and
continually praise God for
the blessings bestowed He upon them. They are quick to say
they simply tried their best to lead Amari down the path God
clearly placed before them and creating a village of family,
friends and church family at the Glass City Church of
Christ.
