I spoke with Justine Boyd and Warren Hawkins representing the United Negro College Fund.
Ms. Boyd shares with us the mission of UNCF using their famous slogan "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste." She reminds us that research proves that education makes the biggest difference in your earning potential. She speaks to education changing not only the recipient, but the entire family.
Warren Hawkins the recipient of a UNCF scholarship is a sophomore at Clark Atlanta University in the School of Social Work. He shares with us what receiving the scholarship meant to him and his future aspirations.
