[Page 93] Scholarship Funds

Deawndra Taylor

I went back to school at an older age in 2016 to get my high school diploma. I decided college would be my next step, so I began, I stopped so many times but now I have the strength to finish where I started. I see school can be depressing and hard and for some they can't afford it, so I started this scholarship fund to help single mothers pursue higher education.

This scholarship fund is going to help raise money towards under funded HBCUs in the Atlanta University Center(AUC). Here at Atlanta Sport and Social Club we are always looking for ways to give back to our community. We would like to raise anywhere from $500-$1000 to help students of color achieve their goal of graduating from an HBCU within the city of Atlanta. We hope that our cause will help impact not only the applicant(s) awarded , but encourage others to reach out and join in our support for our community.
