High school students will compete for $1,500 in scholarships via the Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship FoundaHon website, and be announced during a Black History Month Science Fair hosted by Dakar FoundaHon for The Performing Arts. Currently, the success of Black and African American youth in fields of STEM is severely disproporHonate in comparison to the success of others in those same fields. With this iniHaHve it is our goal to provide an opportunity for culturally relevant academic compeHHon that students would not otherwise be invited to experience. Cultural relevance combined with compeHHon as well as social and fiscal reward will create an environment where students can draw on their cultural frames of reference to bring personal relevance to their projects. This will allow for parHcipants as well as their peers to more deeply internalize informaHon. “The brain needs emo/on and meaning to pay a4en/on, making learning personal and emo/onal for students can bring about the most las/ng lessons”. This concept lies at the heart of the Black History Month Science Fair iniHaHve. In addiHon, we will distribute scholarships that upliS youth by demonstraHng a tangible investment of Hme, energy and finance to encourage and prepare them for success in the near and distant futures. We want the message to be clear to our students: “Your community is thoroughly invested in your success. Scholarship winners will receive Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship memorabilia to go along with their scholarship and sponsors of winning students will receive awards as recogni:on for par:cipa:on in the success of this event. The applica:on for par:cipa:ng in the 2013 Black History Month Science Fair will be available soon.
