Flying Squirrels’ GRASP program seeks VUU, VSU applicants
Fred Jeter | 2/16/2023, 6 p.m.
The application process is underway for the $5,000 Richmond Flying Squirrels “34” Scholarship.
Local students attending Virginia Union or Virginia State universities are eligible. Last year’s scholarship went to Virginia State’s Marica Greenhow.
Co-sponsoring the program are the Squirrels and GRASP (Great Aspirations Scholarship Program, Inc.).
The “34” represents the brave move in 1960 when a group of 34 Virginia Union students peacefully marched downtown and sat at the formerly “whites only” lunch counter at Thal- himer’s Department Store.
The deadline for scholarship application is May 31. For more information, call GRASP at 804-923-0059 or go to advising@grasp4va.org.
