North Springs Charter High School student Jazmyne Brewer has been awarded a $50,000 scholarship from the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation.

A film crew from the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation on Tuesday came to North Springs to interview senior Jazmyne Brewer and her work-based learning teacher Brian Patterson, for a video that will be shown at the Foundation’s Gala in Chicago on May 16.

Jazmyne, one of four students who recently received a $50,000 college scholarship from the Foundation, was selected with another student, to be showcased at the Gala.

Since the eighth grade Jazmyne has participated in the Foundation’s mentoring programs: Young, Fit and Fly, Girls Rule the World and Girls Going Global.

In January, she was invited to appear on the Steve Harvey Show to surprise Mr. Harvey on this birthday and thank him and the Foundation for all that she has learned through the mentoring programs. She was also surprised along with Steve Harvey by a donation to the Foundation for her $50,000 scholarship.

She hopes to attend Howard University or Spellman College in the fall.
