Be the Difference: Naima Stennett SAT Scholarship Fund

LAMB Foundation has partnered with Naima Stennett SAT Scholarship Fund to give back even more to the athlete’s we come in contact with each year.

This scholarship fund will provide scholarships that will cover the FULL cost of the standardized test for college admissions in the United States (SAT) for Jamaican athletes (with a focus on volleyball players), of which we will extend to others who may take the SAT in other countries that LAMB Camp is active.

Naima was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica. She attended Wolmers High school for girls where she played netball, ran track and even tried swimming but she had the greatest passion for volleyball. She is currently pursuing her medical degree (MD) at Brody School of Medicine in North Carolina.

She also got the opportunity to play volleyball for Jamaica National Volleyball junior team and senior team. Her experience with playing volleyball for Jamaica afforded her the “passport” to North Carolina Central University (NCCU) on a full 4 year volleyball scholarship at 16 where she majored in biology with a minor in chemistry.

She found out about LAMB from the founder and teammate on the Jamaica National Volleyball Senior Team Miss Lecia Brown. She was very inspired to know that an organization like LAMB was already making an impact and it further fueled her drive to start her scholarship fund.

Michelle Obama once said “…when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity…you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed”
