AIT Fenov Memorial Scholarship Overview
Fenov Pierre-Louis was beloved by many, and anyone who came into contact with him came away inspired. His incredible speeches have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and all who view them came away amazed at the poise and grace exhibited by Fenov. It was easy to forget that Fenov was just a high school kid, who would have been entering his senior year.
Fenov was a student at the Academy of Information Technology (AIT), one of the top high schools in the United States. Despite missing a great deal of time due to his constant treatments, he was an honors student and was inducted into the National Honor Society. He dreamed of becoming a biomedical engineer. It was at AIT that Fenov forged many of his closest friendships, with fellow students and teachers alike. AIT became a second home to Fenov, and he greatly enjoyed his time there.
Fenov's passing on July 18, 2018 came just months before he was to begin his Senior year at AIT. He was looking forward to applying to colleges and continuing his education. There will be a large void at AIT this June when his classmates receive their diplomas, but they will carry Fenov with him, and his presence will be felt.
