My name is Keyaunna Harris. I want to express my gratitude for selecting me for your scholarship. I was so excited when I received the email! I am a first generation high school graduate, and honestly never thought college was in my future. I had a very difficult start to my senior year and came close to dropping out. God saw me through though and here I am not only graduating high school but am enrolled in college and receiving a scholarship! Thank you so much for your generosity. You have no idea how much it means to me. I will make you proud! Sincerely, Keyaunna Marie Harris Egyptian Class of 21-22

My name is JaQuan Tyus and I will like to thank Shawnee Community College for giving me the Mr. A Scholarship award. I worked hard both semester to maintain good grades so i could continue to play on the court. Another reason why I work so hard was I wanted to make my mom proud. I wanted to pass my classes so I can move on to my major and not be pushed back wasting time. So with that being said, I will continue to keep passing all my classes and maintain a high GPA so I can continue to keep this award. Once again I will like to Thank The Saints Family and Shawnee Community for giving me this award. Continuing SCC Student/Karnak AY21-22
