Previous scholarship recipients have found balance in their new academic environments, focusing more on maximizing their experiences, relationships, and grades rather than on how they will pay for books, tuition, and housing.

"My first semester at Tennessee State University was great. I worked as a dean scholar for the college of agriculture, and in November, I became the first ever freshman to win first place in my division for the Tennessee Academy of Sciences," said Aaliyah Cotton. "My last presentation was at the Capitol! I finished out last semester with a 3.8, and I have recently begun research with Vanderbilt."

Scholarship awards will be presented by Amy Witherite. Chaz Martin from Walmart will also present dorm room gifts to the scholarship recipients, as an extension of their partnership with 1-800-TruckWreck. Amy Witherite will close out the "Making A Difference" Scholarship presentation with remarks to students and staff.
