We awarded 8 students with scholarships. The students were selected for individual awards based on their academic achievement, community involvement, and in some cases: their participation in tennis. We awarded six (6) $10,000 scholarships and two (2) $5,000 scholarships to incoming freshmen students. Payments are made directly to the student's school in two installments: fall and spring. Our awardees attended the following historically black colleges and universities: Hampton University, Howard University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, Winston-Salem State University, Tuskegee University, and Florida A&M University. 62500 0 0 Anastazia Neely Founder & Executive Board Member 10 0 0 0 Brendan Francis Founder & Executive Board Member 10 0 0 0 Alize Garcia Founder & Board Member 5 0 0 0 Phaedra Simpson Board Member 5 0 0 0 J'Vonn Forbes Board Member 5 0 0 0 Emilee Christopher Board Member 5 0 0 0 Lauren Legette Founder & Board Member 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Anastazia Neely 15 W 139th St Apt 10G New York NY 10037 7034012640 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 10500 3122 7022 73941 83311 177896 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10500 3122 7022 73941 83311 177896 177896 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 177896 0 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Our filing is late for three reasons. (1) Our former bank no longer offered business accounts and we had to transfer banks. Navigating a new system and accessing our records has been difficult. (2) This was our first year to exceed $50,000 in gross receipts. In previous years, we filed the 990-N Postcard. We did not anticipate this shift in tax processes. (3) We expanded our service area to focus on 3 cities: Birmingham, New York and Los Angeles. Our Board is made up of non-compensated members and our manpower resources this year have been stretched thin. We would greatly appreciate leniency so that we can continue supporting the scholarship winners and receiving charitable contributions without interruption. We are already refining our processes for next year to prevent a repeated late filing.
