Adirika Awarded $4.5M In Total Scholarship Funds

CNN, Good Morning America, and USA Today, among others, featured 2021 Nyah Project Fellow, Ashley Adirika, for a record streak of college acceptances to all Ivy League institutions and seven other universities. Ashley, who participated in Nyah Project's Access, both the live and online college strategy coaching, is the first student to receive over $4.5 million in individual scholarship awards. 

Ashley will join the Fall 2022 incoming class at Harvard University after winning a full ride scholarship. She plans to major in Government with a concentration in Social Policy.

Recently, Ashley was a featured speaker at the Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ School Board Meeting on May 18, 2022.  In her remarks, she recounted her college admissions journey and, much to our appreciation, gave a special shout-out to Nyah Project for the role played in her success. 

Kudos, Ashley. Let's all congratulate this #NyahProject super-star!
