Scholarship winners

Five young women from Wayne Memorial High School were recently selected as Joyce Ivy Scholars, including Teya Adham, Emily Buison, Emily Lemus, Kyshawn Carr, and Yasmin Munoz-Mejia. The Joyce Ivy Foundation presented scholarships to 78 young women to participate in summer pre-college academic programs at the Foundation partner colleges and universities, including Barnard College, Brown University, Cornell University, Emory University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Smith College, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Chicago and Yale University. Four of the Wayne Memorial students are members of the Upward Bound Program.  Yvette Jonna-Moore and Wayne Memorial alumni Khushi Patel and Morgan Butler were instrumental in helping  the students receive the prestigious honor as they prepared their applications for the scholarship, district officials said.
