The Forward Freethought Tuition Relief Scholarships is funded by generous FFRF benefactor Lance Bredvold. This year, the students were selected by Black Skeptics Los Angeles, an African-American humanist-atheist community-based organization.
FFRF has previously partnered with BSLA in its annual “first in the family” humanist scholarships for outstanding secular students of color.
Scholarship recipient Ashton Hall said, “Change doesn’t happen by miracles, it happens through self-actualization, finding your belonging, creating a positive esteem in one’s self, bodily needs and sense of security.”
