Ace Scholarship winner #3.

Kennedy Xiong is the 3rd recipient of the Ace Scholarship. The gift was named in honor of my late dad, a life long educator, and goes to minority student in the St. Paul Public Schools who is headed to college to be a teacher. Kennedy is off to the University of Minnesota (My father's alma mater.) in the Fall. Here is an excerpt from Kennedy's application: "Although the income you receive as an educator isn't much, giving back to the community is enough for me. Becoming an educator is not about doing it for yourself but giving out to others instead. I want to be able to show students the importance of education. Even if it means only changing the life of one person, I would gladly do it."
