Willie James Jones Award
$2,500 Awards
Willie James Jones was in the very first class of Aaron Price Fellows, Class of 1994. Willie excelled in everything he did through a combination of talent, intelligence and determination. He was an honor student, gifted athlete, student leader and caring community member. Tragically, Willie was killed in a drive-by shooting on his high school graduation night, three days before he was to leave for Cornell University.
In honor of Willie’s memory, the Price Family created the annual Willie James Jones Scholarship Award. Fellows and staff vote for one male and one female graduating Fellow that best exemplify the characteristics that made Willie Jones an extraordinary young man. The selected Fellows each receive a $2,500 award.
