The Antione L. Ford Scholarship Fund for High School Students
The Antione L. Ford Scholarship Fund for High School Students has been established in honor of Antione Ford's community impact and servant leadership that has impacted our work here at 20:24 Ministries.
Antione Ford is a public school educator and coach, who has taught within the public school system for over 20 years. Beginning his teaching career in Decatur, Georgia; Antione or as his students notably call him, Coach Ford, has taught at several schools within the metro-Atlanta area and now calls Houston, Texas his home.
Coach Ford spreads light to each of his students, both past and present. He is a man of God, who openly shares the Gospel and love of Christ through his servant leadership. Amongst being a Christ-follower and loving husband and father, Coach Ford has mentored, guided, and become a father-figure to many of his former students and athletes throughout his career.
Our founder and president, Olivia Liu, attributes her growth and development to the love and guidance that she received from Coach Ford while in high school. This scholarship aims to serve our next generation of change leaders and change makers.
Please be advised that the scholarship period has now closed. Congratulations to our 2026 Antione L. Ford Scholarship Recipient!
