Asia Henderson, a junior majoring in creative advertising, was recently awarded a scholarship to help further her education. She is a student team member at the MSU Union Food Court.
Awarded by the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association, the Scholarship for Growing the Future helps young people preparing for the road ahead as well as professionals who have chosen to venture down a new road or build on past accomplishments.
“Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me because I am being recognized for my hard work outside of academics,” Henderson shared. “When I received the news that I was chosen for this scholarship, I was so happy and grateful. I remember last year I came to school with only $20 in hand and no way to purchase my books.”
In a letter to Culinary Services leadership, the IDDBA shared that they’re impressed by students who are able to tackle the challenges of school alongside holding a job. Henderson received $1,500 to use toward her education at MSU.
