With funding coming from Beacon Risk Strategies, the company co-founded by Carson, the Carson J Spencer Foundation (CJSF), in partnership with the Junior Achievement Rocky Mountain (JARM) organization, awarded its first college scholarship to Denver high school Senior Trenton ("Trent") Lovell .
Trent will receive a $4000 a year scholarship from CJSF and JARM for each of the next four years at Denver University.
It was one of Carson's wishes to sponsor young people with such an award. The Carson J Spencer "Rising Star" Scholarship considers entrepreneurial spirit, motivation, and creativity in business and community as it's primary selection criteria.
Chosen from a group of over 60 extremely talented applicants, Trent impressed us with his social entrepreneurship founding "B.I.O.N.I.C." (Believe It Or Not I Care) which now involves 180 people from 9 elementary schools. BIONIC brings outreach services to children who are missing school due to sickness. They provide homework, tutoring and support to help boost spirits to keep the students functioning at their class level.
Trent also has an outstanding academic record, captained the varsity basketball team, was a "Class Senator" for the Student Government. and shows much promise as a future business leader and entrepreneur.
Please come to the Denver Benefit Auction Evening and meet this wonderful young man.
