Hearing “I want to go to Xavier” is music to my ears! Sydney and I met last fall while she was volunteering at the African American Health Alliance Scholarship Ball. Although we were only able to speak briefly, I could tell that she was extremely bright. Sydney is a recent graduate from Homestead High School where she graduated in the top of her class. With dreams of becoming a trauma surgeon, Sydney will attend Xavier University of Louisiana this fall!! Sydney and I met recently where we were able to discuss her goals and she was rewarded a laptop from our foundation in acknowledgment of her hard work and commitment to the community. We look forward to hearing about all of your future accomplishments!! Good luck down in New Orleans, Sydney!!
The Dr.Emmary Butler Endowed Scholarship at XULA
This year I’ve been keeping a little secret =) As I looked for ways to take my foundation to another level, a strong message came to my mind and heart. “Endow a scholarship at your beloved Xavier” it said “It will last forever and provide scholarships for students in need” it said. As a result, I’ve been working with the university to endow the Dr. Emmary Butler scholarship at XULA. The endowment is $25,000. Once established it will provide an annual $2,000 scholarship for a Pre-Med student from Fort Wayne that is in good standing with the university. My goal is to keep a steady stream of Fort Wayne students in the university.
Here’s where you come in…. =)
From October 10 (my Birthday) until October 15 (the foundation’s 2nd year anniversary), I will personally match half of the donations made to benefit the endowment of the scholarship!! Click the donate button below to give TODAY!!!
