On Tuesday, the 28^th of March 2022, she received the Joe Biden Lifetime Achievement Award from the special White House Liaisons. This is an award that is normally offered to selected individuals that have contributed massively towards community service and the development of their communities in whatever form, through what they do.

Madam Scholz is a servant Leader in her community, and therefore, the White House did not waste time in approving her award.
