Kaleem is a graduate of North Dorchester High School and O’Donnell is an Easton High School graduate. The students were chosen for leadership and service in the community, exceptional academic performance, and outstanding personal essays on the meaning of the constitution. The Constitution Alliance Fund scholarship program recognizes academic achievement and dedication to the principles of the Constitution and supports future careers in civic leadership.
Fatima Kaleem plans to major in healthcare and psychology. Her future career plans include working in the medical field and improving accessibility to quality healthcare. William O’Donnell is looking at a number of possible majors that would lead to a career in the legal field and public policy.
The Mid-Shore Constitution Alliance, in partnership with the Washington College Institute for Religion, Politics & Culture and Operation Frederick Douglass on the Hill, promotes civic engagement through education and a commitment to uphold constitutional values and the founding principles of freedom.
