Reynoldsburg student presented with life-changing scholarship
REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (WCMH) — A life-changing opportunity for a student in Reynoldsburg was both a surprise for her and her family.
On Wednesday, Jayde Grant was presented with a check for a scholarship worth up to $30,000 through the Grow Your Own program. The program seeks to recruit and prepare young people to become teachers in their communities.
Grant, a senior at Reynoldsburg High School, said it was her father who inspired her to become an educator.
'I feel like that's something I always wanted to be, like with my dad working at a school and then going to his summer job and stuff, it's like always been inside of me,' she said.
Grant plans to attend Kent State University and is looking forward to return to teach in Reynoldsburg in a few years.
