2025 Danielle Brown Scholarship Winner

Genesee County Literacy Coalition (GCLC) is proud to announce that Aaron Carr has been selected as the recipient of the 2025 Danielle Brown Scholarship. A graduate of Carmen-Ainsworth High School, Aaron has demonstrated outstanding dedication to his academic goals, community involvement, and personal growth.

During high school, Aaron maintained a 3.3 GPA while balancing work and participation in programs such as the Alpha Esquires and Kettering University’s Kagle Youth Leadership Initiative. These experiences helped him develop leadership skills, discipline, and a commitment to giving back to his community.

Aaron is attending Fayetteville State University, majoring in Banking and Finance. His goal is to build a strong foundation in financial literacy and business strategy, with aspirations to work in the finance industry. He hopes to use his skills not only to achieve professional success and stability but also to create opportunities for others and give back to the community through education and outreach.

The Danielle Brown Scholarship will help Aaron cover educational expenses and access the resources he needs to succeed in college. “This scholarship is a recognition of my hard work and potential,” Aaron shared. “It motivates me to continue striving for excellence and to make the most of my college education so I can positively impact my community.”

GCLC also recognizes Destiny Hodges from Success Virtual High School as the 2025 Runner-Up. Destiny aspires to become a nurse and has shown remarkable dedication to her education. As runner-up, Destiny received a technology bundle to support her future studies and career goals.

We congratulate both Aaron Carr and Destiny Hodges for their achievements and wish them the very best as they pursue their future goals!
