Pathways is thrilled to announce that Isaiah Allen is the proud recipient of a Michael Cardin Scholarship. This scholarship was established in 1998 by the Maryland Association of Nonpublic Special Education Facilities (MANSEF) to provide financial assistance to deserving special education students to pursue their dreams. It is awarded yearly to students in MANSEF schools who have demonstrated outstanding performance, motivation, commitment to improvement, potential for success and financial need. 

Isaiah attended Pathways-DuVal Re-Entry. He worked diligently toward his academic and personal goals with quiet persistence and genuine good humor.  Frequently on the honor roll, he ended the year with a 3.0 GPA.  He participated in junior varsity football, the photography club and the environmental club.   These extracurricular activities were a real commitment for Isaiah, since he lives outside the range of school transportation.  His participation and his academic success are particularly impressive because he pursued them even during a period of homelessness and while helping to care for a disabled younger brother.  Isaiah will attend Bridgewater College in Virginia in the fall.
