In her own words:

Dear Mr. Brewer,

First, I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to the University of Arkansas’ African and African American Studies Program. I am extremely grateful to be a recipient of the Ronnie Brewer Endowed Scholarship.

As a senior honors student double majoring in Political Science and African American Studies, your contribution will alleviate financial stress. I am currently preparing for the law school admission test with hopes of continuing my studying at the University of Arkansas School of Law.

With that being said, the Ronnie Brewer Endowed Scholarship will allow me to work less hours and have more time to focus on my studies. I currently work two part time jobs and am very grateful to have some financial stress alleviated.

Again, I would like to thank you for your generous contribution and support.

India Young
