The Park Slope Civic Council awarded Community Service Scholarships to four outstanding high school students at our meeting at the Old Stone House on Thursday, May 4, 2023. The recipients of the scholarships are graduating seniors attending the four high schools within the John Jay Educational Complex and have exemplified an impressive level of volunteer and community service. Each student received a $2,500 scholarship to assist with post-secondary education.
Scholarships were awarded to Bryant Rojas from the Cyber Arts Studio Academy, Tata Chelidze from Park Slope Collegiate, Daniel Tyler-Zimmerman from Millennium Brooklyn High School, and Keturah Allen from John Jay School.
Mr. Rojas will attend Brooklyn College, Ms. Chelidze will attend Stony Brook University, Mr. Tyler-Zimmerman will attend Purchase College, and Ms. Allen will attend Mount Holyoke College.
The Community Service Scholarships are funded through private donations, and the Park Slope Civic Council’s food and drink tasting fundraising event, Food For Thought.

Our annual fundraiser for these scholarships, Food For Thought, will be on Wednesday, October 18, at the Picnic House in Prospect Park.
