Kellin Foundation Awards Scholarships to Two Local Graduating Seniors

The Kellin Foundation has awarded its Amanda Ireland Ward Memorial Scholarships to two graduating Greensboro high school seniors, Malaika Siddique of Northwest Guilford High School and Kameron Andrew Austin of the Early/Middle College at NC A&T State University. Each will receive $500.

The scholarship was established in honor of Ward, a former Kellin Foundation family and child advocate and trainer who helped thousands of local families. This is the third year the foundation has awarded the scholarships to local North Carolina students who showcase Ward’s spirit of service to others, caring and connecting to all people, and demonstrated achievements.

In the fall, Siddique will attend UNC-Chapel Hill and study biology. Austin will attend UNC-Charlotte and study pre-medicine. Both plan to go into the medical field.

“We are proud to be able to extend this scholarship to two students who are considering going into medicine,” said Dr. Kelly Graves, executive director of the Kellin Foundation. “We are honored to support them in Mandy’s name.” 

The scholarships are funded by Kellin Foundation donors. To support the scholarship fund, donate now.
