Spirit of Lincoln Endowment Fund
Investment in this fund allows us to expand our efforts to highlight the accomplishments of distinguished Illinoisans and to ‘pay it forward’ by encouraging excellence and principled civic engagement in young leaders. Our goals include: 1) connecting Student Laureates with senior members of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois who can act as mentors and encouragers; and 2) instilling in the next generation a commitment to lead “in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln” to the betterment of humanity.

"The Lincoln Laureate Legacy emphasizes the importance of community service for the betterment of society. As an honored recipient of the Lincoln Laurent Award I will use the values of this award to guide my life.
Holding the legacy of this award with me, I hope to inspire others to build strong relationships and get involved in their communities. I also hope to continue to volunteer with my community and give back to organizations that helped me grow.
As I continue on my path, I plan to dedicate my time and use my STEM background to inspire young students. As a strong believer for educational equality I want to volunteer with nonprofit organizations that focus on bringing educational programs to underprivileged areas. As a student leader in my university I want to continue to serve my community and the organizations I am committed too.
I thank the Lincoln Academy of Illinois and Illinois Institute of Technology for giving me this honor and I hope to continue on this path of community service."
The Lincoln Academy of Illinois wants to thank and congratulate Student Laurent and Illinois Institute of Technology's Ayesha Anees.
"Lincoln's leadership legacy is an amazing representation of having the courage to make difficult choices. Just as in Lincoln's time, leading in today's dichotomizing American society is much more nuanced than many would like to admit.
The lessons that the leaders of today can apply from Lincoln's legacy are ones of grace, patience, integrity, perseverance, and an ability to listen in order to better understand, even in the face of great danger.
When taken to heart and enacted with our hands, these lessons allow us to respect the humanity and dignity of all people in our world, just as Lincoln so admirably made possible for many enslaved and oppressed people of color."
