Marietta Daily Journal
Cobb-based Delta Community Credit Union, in partnership with V-103, announced the first three recipients of its 2024 HBCU Scholarship Award, which provides financial assistance to students attending or planning to attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
After reviewing over 700 applications, the most since the program began in 2015, the following students were selected to receive $5,000 each:
Jordan Caldwell is a senior at Clark Atlanta University majoring in art. A 2020 graduate from Pebblebrook High School in Mableton, she plans to become an illustrator and the first female Black animated film director. Caldwell is a member of the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society. She also helps coordinate mentoring events for local high school students through Collegiate 100, a campus-based student organization.
Sydney Catron is an incoming freshman at Spelman College, where she plans to major in biology/pre-med with a minor in Spanish. A 2024 graduate from Mount Paran Christian School in Kennesaw, she aspires to become an obstetrician/gynecologist and bring healthcare to overlooked and underrepresented communities. She has completed an internship with Kennesaw Gynecology.
Amir Rowser graduated from South Atlanta High School in Atlanta this spring. He will begin his first year of college at Fort Valley State University in the fall, but is entering as a junior due to credits earned from dual enrollment. He is an advocate for financial literacy and also serves as co-chair of the Dukes Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to youth mentoring. Rowser has recorded over 200 hours of community service.
The Delta Community and V-103 2024 HBCU Scholarship Program will award a total of five $5,000 scholarship awards in 2024, one more than last year. The final two recipients will be announced in November, following another application period.
