20th Anniversary of the Shankleville Memorial Scholarship!

2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Shankleville Memorial Scholarship, and we are already making plans to mark this milestone in a very big way. We are calling on all past scholarship recipients to "come back, give back" during the 2011 Homecoming. Michal Riggins Johnson will be coordinating this effort, so please contact her at msrozjohnson@yahoo.com so we can make sure you are up-to-date with our plans, and that we have your up-to-date contact information.
