The Alexis Adeniran Scholarship
The Scholarship
The Alexis Adeniran Scholarship is a need-based grant awarded to a woman who wishes to attend Black On The Vineyard but may not be financially able to this year. This scholarship was created in memory of Alexis Adeniran, a Black On The Vineyard attendee that recently transitioned, but left a lasting impression on the staff and attendees during that session.
To honor Alexis Adeniran, we are awarding one Black woman the opportunity to attend Session I of Black on the Vineyard free of charge.
