Khai Perry was a bright light with incredible potential whose life was taken away too soon. 

Khai was a person who showed love, compassion, and kindness, often to those who needed it most. A drive to help others was deeply embedded in him. The meaning behind Khai's scholarship is "Not all stars must fall." Everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue their dreams no matter the circumstances in their life. Unfortunately, socioeconomic status is a common barrier limiting the educational opportunities of students across the country.

This scholarship seeks to honor Khai Perry's spirit, life, and memory by embracing the qualities he exhibited the most while he was here and paying it forward to support those in need. 

Any low-income, underrepresented minority high school, trade school, undergraduate, or graduate student who is a resident of Massachusetts may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
