Brown of Garysburg, N.C. is one of 36 college freshmen enrolled at historically black colleges and universities to receive the first four year scholarships, awarded by the Thurgood Marshall Black Education Fund. This Education Fund hon ors Thurgood Marshall in his service as the first black to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

To qualify for and earn a Thurgood Marshall Scholarship, students must meet a variety of academic and leadership crite ria: entering college freshman; a high school grade point aver age of 3.0; a combined math/ verbal score of 900 on SAT; a high school letter of recommen dation; a full-time student pur suing a bachelor’s; and a U.S. citizen. As an active senior at Northampton County West High School, Brown received many honors and awards for her ex ceptional gifted talents in biol ogy, algebra, FrencL and social studies. While in the process of ap plying for the Chancellor’s Scholarship at WSSU, she was told about the scholarship and applied. Brown was not wor ried about getting into college. She knew that it would take place. Brown is concerned about the lack of dentists in rural ar eas and aspires to be a dentist. “There is such a great demand for dentists in rural areas and I just want to be able to help the ones that are neglected in need for dental care” she said. Brown is now an active member of Atkin Hall’s Judi cial Council, the Biology Club and Project Strengthen a univer sity wide program for biology and medicine majors. She is looking forward to becoming a dentist and is very appreciative of having the oppor tunity of going to school and having the four year bill paid. Brown adds, “being a recipi ent of this scholarship will assist me in obtaining my doctoral de gree, and have a successful prac tice in the health field of den tistry”. In closing Brown would like to leave everyone with this thought, “above all god helped those who helped themselves act as though everything depends on you and pray as though every thing depends on God.” Jeanette Durant, Happy Valentine’s Day Love Steve Wre concerned about the alxise ctf our products.
