Our Mission

We empower remarkable and academically promising youth from underrepresented communities by providing full scholarships and an engaged community dedicated to their success in life.

Our Vision

By advancing and honoring the life and values of Sidney Barthwell, Jr. we create a more equitable, inclusive, and respectful world.

“We envision the scholarship enabling youth to reach their full potential and empowering a new generation of social justice leaders. My brother used whatever advantages he had in life not to enrich himself but to help others. This scholarship will carry forward that core value.”

Dr. Akosua Barthwell Evans
