First place winner Nyree Andrews, a Charlotte, N.C. student and self-taught film director, wants to attend the University of Southern California's top-ranked film program and develop her filmmaking skills to amplify underrepresented voices through film and reflect the diverse cultures and experiences she has seen in her Charlotte community. In her essay, she wrote:

"My unwavering passion, coupled with a higher education, will equip me to become a force for positive change in Hollywood. I'll draw from my unique experiences to create films that reflect the world's beautiful diversity, ensuring no child feels unseen. Through inclusive storytelling, I'll not just envision a better tomorrow but bring it to life on the big screen."

Second-place winner Angela Clark, also of Charlotte, wrote about being a first-generation American whose mother and father came to the U.S. as refugees of the Liberian Civil War to build a better life for themselves. She intends to study international relations as an undergraduate and wishes to obtain a law degree in international law in hopes of working at the United Nations. She writes:

"As a first-generation American born to resilient and dedicated parents who triumphed over so many hurdles to be where they are today, my heart breaks for those trapped in humanitarian crises beyond their control. I dream of dedicating my education and career to serving them by advocating for global peace, sustainable practices, and the development of less fortunate countries through the United Nations, where I will triumph as a leader in the international community."
