This scholarship honors the life of Summer Nicole Claypoole. Summer was a fierce advocate for leadership and the arts for children in Baltimore City. As Director of Leadership and Engagement at Art with a Heart, Summer fought to build leadership skills, empathy, and a sense of community in the young people with whom she worked. One of the young people with whom she worked described her as "a beacon of all that's good in the world."

Thanks to our partnership with the CollegeBound Foundation, a Baltimore-based college access non-profit, scholarship funds are managed with no administrative fees and donations are 100% tax-deductible.
