GSA Spotlight- Student Leader Scholarship Recipients

Earlier this year, we selected our second year recipients of The Student Leadership Scholarship! Five high school seniors in the Lowcountry will be awarded this year! All awardees have aspirations to use their leadership skills for a positive change the world. Let’s support them in making that change!

One of our recipients, Alex Driskell (not pictured) graduated from Goose Creek High School and plans on attending Ringling College of Art and Design

“Since childhood, I have wanted nothing more than to find someone like me. The happiness I got from finally discovering the diversity in shows like Steven Universe is something I strive to bring to the community. This is where my passion for animation came from, and this is how I plan to advocate for queer rights.

I believe everyone deserves to feel found, and media is the first and greatest step to that. If I can show generations that they're not alone with my art, then I can spur passion in them to do the same. It means magnitudes to be connected like this since that connection will build the schools, homes, and communities that are safe from discrimination for our future.” - Alex Driskell
