Scholarship Ball Impact
Every year, the money raised at the event goes directly to support students and enable them to reach their academic goals. These funds enable students to purchase textbooks and supplies, secure housing, purchase a meal plan, and cover any other unforeseen emergencies.
Three students have been profoundly impacted by the Scholarship Ball’s proceeds and they have shared their appreciation.
D’vontae Scott
Class of 2025
Major: Accounting
"Affording college was one of my main struggles when choosing a school to attend. My scholarship is helping to make college more affordable as a first-generation college student."
Krystal Williams
Class of 2022
Major: General Agriculture
"I sincerely thank all of the donors that sponsor the DSU Foundation scholarships. Thanks to the scholarships I received, I will not have to pay out of pocket for my education, which takes a great deal of stress off of me and my family. I can better focus on completing my degree on time, a goal I have been working toward since I entered DSU as a freshman in 2018."
Kayla Harmon
Class of 2022
Major: Mathematics
"I am very grateful to be a scholarship recipient. My scholarship allows me to continue pursuing my education and will bring me one step closer to achieving my goals in the workforce."
