2025 Cyarah Vince Scholarship Winner: Allison Case

The Cyarah Vince Foundation was created after the tragic loss of Cyarah Vince, a 2014 Midview graduate who aspired to make a difference in the world. In 2020, Cyarah’s life was cut short due to the actions of her abusive boyfriend. Abuse can take many forms, including psychological, physical, sexual, financial, or emotional, and it is never acceptable.
