Give to Our Scholarship Fund
Would you like to make the difference in a child's life for as little as $20.00? We can help!! Donate to the Sharond C. Williams and Robert J. Ray Memorial Scholarship Foundations. Our desire is to close the educational attainment gap between African Americans and the majority population. Your donation can help promising students attend college and get the education they want and deserve. It is true what they say, " A mind IS a terrible thing to waste". Since the birth of Think Smart, we have awarded six academic scholarships. Recipients have included a student whose brother was killed in a tragic car accident just months before his graduation, a student who was the first person in his immediate family (mother, father, grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.) to graduate from HIGH SCHOOL, and a student whose parents struggled with alcohol and drugs throughout his entire childhood. Help us reach our goal in providing $10,000 in scholarships to the class of 2009.
Scholarship Recipients do have to be participants of the Think Smart program. To donate, send your $20.00 payment to 55 Think Smart Lane, Erwin, NC 28339. Individuals, businesses, organizations, etc. who donate will be recognized on our Website and invited to attend the Scholarship Banquet to be held in May 2009.
