The Dayton Inter-Alumni Council of the United Negro College Fund is proud to announce that a student has been selected to receive the $500.00 Book Scholarship. Zoue Elan Eke is a freshman at Fisk University and a Dayton Public Schools graduate. Zoue graduated with a 4.26 GPA and was in the upper 10 percent of her class and has been selected as a scholarship recipient to receive the Dayton Inter-Alumni Council of the United Negro College Fund (DIAC/UNCF) $500.00 Book Scholarship. Zoue is currently a Political Science major at Fisk and is interested in becoming a lawyer.  

 

In her essay that she had to write to obtain this scholarship, she shares that, "My future career goals include becoming a criminal defense lawyer, working in civil rights, and opening up a law firm. I acquired my career aspirations by taking many social science classes throughout my years in high school and learning about the legal system's shortcomings in cases involving minorities. By becoming a defense attorney, I can prevent the imprisonment of people who are
already at an unfair advantage. Once I have years of experience and an incredible career, I plan to open a law firm."

Zoue's community service involves working in her church, reading the announcements and the scriptures every fourth Sunday, and volunteering with the Flower Outreach Ministry. Her work experiences include working in the Freedom School at Grace United Methodist Church. 

Zoue wrote in her essay that, “Throughout my life, my family has taught me that education is the key to unlocking new doors.
My goal for continuing my education after high school is to gain knowledge and skills to unlock the doors of my future.”
