In 2023, we asked our Scholars to share their thoughts on what it means to be a Gaines-Jones Scholar, and what they would would tell their 8th grade selves. The responses were deep and delightful! To learn more about many of these Scholars, visit our Scholars Spotlight page.

Brianna Bank-McLean: Spend time with yourself

Julia Solomon: Grateful for scholarship

Reagan White: OK to be in uncomfortable situations

Nicholas Moseley: Don’t be too laid back: let yourself be known!

Chelsea Fitzhugh: Grateful for resilience to overcome failure
