Rolner Benjamin, who graduated in 2022 from Coconut Creek High School, is the fourth and final recipient of the organization’s $1,000 scholarship awards in 2022. He received the award in recognition of his academic mentorship in high school.
Benjamin is studying psychology and social work at FSU and later plans to pursue a master’s degree.
