Healthfirst and One Hundred Black Men (OHBM) of New York are continuing their support for leadership development and economic empowerment. For the second year, Healthfirst has awarded Education & Leadership Program Scholarships to college-bound students who participate in the OHBM Junior 100 Mentorship Program. Launched in 2023, the scholarship program covers college tuition and related expenses. The program aims to equip young people with the skills and opportunities they need to pursue careers that promote health equity.
Healthfirst and OHBM of New York jointly hosted a celebratory reception for the scholars at Healthfirst's headquarters in New York. The scholars received certificates and participated in a dialogue with leaders from both Healthfirst and OHBM about the power of mentorship. Scholarship recipients were selected for their outstanding academic efforts, character, demonstrated dedication and determination, and commitment to excellence.
The three scholarship recipients, their choice of college, and course of study are:
"Healthfirst is pleased to support the next generation of leaders through the One Hundred Black Men Scholarship program," said Miguel Centeno, Vice President of Community Engagement at Healthfirst. "We are proud of the scholars and will continue to be committed to helping young people from the communities we serve."
“One Hundred Black Men is grateful for the collaboration and partnership that Healthfirst offers us,” said One Hundred Black Men President Robert Brown. “As like-minded organizations, Healthfirst and One Hundred Black Men are making significant inroads with empowering our youth.”
