Join us in congratulating Tierney, a Project Nyame Nsa Youth Ambassador on receiving the Sue Link Memorial Scholarship Award! The award is in memory of Sue Link who lost her life due to a negligent driver in 1983.

The scholarship is awarded to a senior in Nassau County who demonstrates high academic achievement, exceptional athletic ability, and overall commitment to excellence. As a Project Nyame Nsa Youth Ambassador, Tierney has shown her commitment to our mission by continuing to raise awareness of vulnerable children in Africa.

Tierney was selected from among all of the Nassau County high school soccer teams and is the second Manhasset player to win the award in 35 years! We’re so proud of this young lady and congratulate her once again on receiving this esteemed honor.
