I believe investing in the education of young leaders helps cultivate a generation that is equipped to address social, economic, and cultural issues. Scholarship recipients can become role models and advocates in their communities. Establishing a scholarship creates a lasting legacy. It reflects a commitment to education and community upliftment that can inspire future generations to invest in their own education and that of others. In summary, creating a scholarship for students attending HBCUs is not just about providing financial aid; it's about fostering opportunities, celebrating cultural heritage, and building a brighter future for individuals and communities alike.
