Brand consultancy The Legacy Lab, a unit of Publicis Groupe’s luxury-brand-focused agency Team One, has issued a call for entries for its annual scholarship. 

The award is designed to recognize African American students who strive to “revolutionize an industry, change social norms and bring change to their communities for generation to come.” 

Last year, The Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship was awarded to Antoinette Banks, a Ph.D. student in the Learning and Mind Sciences program at UC Davis, who specializes in research around enhanced technology in special education classrooms – emphasizing predictive and artificial intelligence models. In addition to her research, Banks is also the author of 'Better Than a Diagnosis: A Single Parents Guide to Autism' as well as the CEO of Expert IEP, an award-winning educational technology (EdTech) company that supports parents of students who learn differently. 

“The Legacy Lab studies and celebrates people and brands who are making a lasting impact in the world. It’s a forward-looking platform that celebrates the future more than the past,” stated Julie Michael, CEO at Team One. “In that spirit, we continue our annual scholarship program which is designed to encourage the next generation of future leaders to pursue their highest aspirations.” 

The deadline for submissions is Oct. 23 and the selected scholar will be announced on Dec. 4.
