Congratulations to our first Go for Yours Scholarship Fund recipient, Thelonious Stokes. In June of 2021, he became the first African American student to graduate from the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. Thelonious hails from the southside of Chicago and was handpicked among a class of highly skilled artists. Although accepted, he still had to pay his way through his first year of school before qualifying for any scholarships. The Go for Yours Foundation offered financial assistance. We are honored to have been a part of his journey and look forward to helping more students with similar passion and drive as Thelonious.
