Archer-Ragsdale Arizona Chapter Tuskegee Airmen, Inc

L’Mio Edwards has been awarded a $3,000 scholarship from the Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Foundation for 2024, sponsored by AbbVie.

AbbVie’s mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines and solutions that address complex health issues and enhance people’s lives. Beyond their commitment to medicine, the company demonstrates corporate responsibility by supporting community programs. 

In 2022, AbbVie and the North Chicago Community Unit School District 187 opened the new Neal Math and Science Academy, the district’s only middle school, built with a $40 million donation from AbbVie. Designed with a focus on STEM learning, the school was developed in collaboration with the school district, AbbVie, students, and the community. This donation exemplifies AbbVie’s longstanding commitment to improving student success and supporting children, families, and the community.

Through one of its many Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), AbbVie supports military veterans and those who serve in the Guard and Reserves, both in and out of the office.

“AbbVie recognizes that veterans possess essential skills that seamlessly translate to the organization, such as leadership, responsibility, teamwork, integrity, selfless service, dedication, agility, and problem-solving,” said Michelle Raine-Shepherd, Manager of Marketing Insights.

We are grateful for our multi-year relationship with AbbVie and the ERG Veterans Group, which sponsors $6,000 annually in scholarship support.

Information regarding the 2025 scholarship cycle will be posted soon. For updates, visit: Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Information: https://www.taisf.org/scholarship-information.html.
