This is Ramella, a 2015 Joseph A. Beavers scholarship recipient. Annually, we award 5 ambitious, deserving D.C. high school students, $10,000 each to be applied towards their collegiate aspirational pursuits. Named in honor of former UPO advocate and famed laborer, we’ve awarded over $1 million dollars to academic achievers from D.C.’s low income communities since the early 2000s. Ramella is now prepared for her future. She is committed. She is UPO.
