Diane Reid Scholarship for Academic Excellence

The Diane Reid Scholarship for Academic Excellence honors the enduring legacy of Diane Reid—an unwavering advocate for youth empowerment and a beloved supporter of ALIVE Inc., the Fellowship Open, and its family of initiatives. Diane believed deeply in nurturing the potential of young leaders and championed the pursuit of excellence in all its forms.

​

In her spirit, this scholarship is awarded to students who carry her torch: those who strive for the best of the best in academics, leadership, and community impact. Eligible applicants must reside in one of the core programming regions served by ALIVE or its affiliated initiatives (Milwaukee, Detroit, Madison, Georgia or Florida). While not required, preference will be given to students who have actively participated in ALIVE’s signature programming—such as the Fellowship Open’s youth efforts, STEAM Open, CHARM, SACP Wisconsin, MKE Fellows, MSN Fellows, DTW Fellows, Sow and Grow, and Timeless Harmony.

​

This scholarship is more than a financial award—it is a call to excellence, a celebration of potential, and a living tribute to a woman who inspired generations to reach higher.
