Vickie Drum Memorial Scholarship
Vickie Drum was a remarkable woman that navigated the difficulties of being a mother during college enrollment.
While pursuing higher education allows one to develop their career and grow as an individual, it is difficult to accomplish while raising a child. Despite facing these challenges, Vickie graduated to provide for her family, and her story is remembered by her loved ones today.
Similar to this narrative, many young mothers aspire to receive access to higher education to better their lives. Due to financial responsibilities affording attendance at a college or university can be strenuous.
In honor of Vickie Drum, this scholarship will support North Carolina female students with a child in their pursuit of an undergraduate degree. All applicants fitting these criteria while simultaneously maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship.
