Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship

Provided by the Merriweather Family

Home: Welcome

The Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship was created by Albert and Mitiz Merriweather and is carried on by their children: Kayla, Kelsea, Karen and AJ– former graduates of South Side High School. South Side High School has played an integral part in the education of these alumni, and greatly enhanced their ability to receive college degrees at four-year institutions. As a way of giving back to South Side High School, this annual scholarship is being presented to assist a student in his or her pursuit of a college degree.
