The Michael Burnett Scholarship

Michael Burnett was truly loved by everyone who knew him. His kindness touched all, and his presence could instantly bring laughter to any room. Tragically, Michael’s vibrant life was cut short just months after graduating from Michigan State University in 2019. His untimely passing left his entire community heartbroken, but profoundly grateful for the joy and kindness he shared. To honor his memory, his family and friends have established The Michael Burnett Scholarship. This scholarship aims to support a Detroit student who embodies the same love and light that Michael exemplified. Through this initiative, Michael’s spirit of generosity and warmth will continue to inspire future generations.

The Leslie Reid Scholarship

Leslie Reid said, in August 1999, "I have come into the world to help educate and motivate our youth to continue their education." Leslie was herself an excellent student who graduated from Cass Technical High School, and later earned her Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Michigan State University, and her Masters degree in Counseling from Eastern Michigan University. She dedicated her life to educating Detroit youth, and serving her church and Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. Leslie will be forever remembered for her kind and giving spirit, and for the many life lessons she taught simply by living her core values. ​
