The Leslie Reid Scholarship

1972-2021

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.
