Our Guiding Principles
The Honorable Sidney Barthwell Jr. Scholarship Fund serves academically promising youth from underrepresented communities, with the resources and support they need to successfully complete their secondary education at The Cranbrook School. A dedicated committee was formed in 2020 to advance the mission, vision and future of this extraordinary scholarship. The objective is to sponsor scholarships at other secondary schools across the United States.

Bringing People Together
“We created this scholarship because we are in an extraordinary time period, including the pandemic and the emotions laid bare by the racial reckoning this summer, that has led many of us to re-examine our actions and priorities. It seemed that honoring a terrific person who influenced so many people, including me, and who was all about bringing people together, is particularly pertinent now.”
