37 winners of the 2025 Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) Legacy Scholarship have been announced recently by the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI).Â
Each recipient is a graduating student of any of the eight public high schools in Montgomery who is awarded $10,000.Â
An announcement from EJI said that recipients were selected based on essays they wrote on their experience visiting the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park or on their efforts at school.
“We are excited to support these extraordinary young people who have distinguished themselves at their schools," said EJI director Bryan Stevenson. "Area students need to be supported, encouraged, and affirmed when they work hard and strive to achieve greatness."
"Providing scholarships to MPS students and their families has been a joyous and uplifting experience for us and we look forward to continuing our work with Montgomery high school students."
The announcement said that more than 200 were in attendance at the EJI Legacy Hall to celebrate the students receiving their awards.Â
