A Hopkinsville native has received a scholarship as part of the Mahurin Honors College diversity scholarship program.
According to a news release, the Western Kentucky University Student Government Association allocated $1,500 to create funding for underrepresented minority scholars in the Mahurin Honors College. This funding will cover the MHC membership fee for 12 scholars during the Fall 2021 semester, now including nursing major Ariana Martinez of Hopkinsville.
Executive Director Dr. Craig T. Cobane says, “We are grateful for the Student Government Association investing in The Mahurin Honors College and our scholars. The MHC has continued our focus on recruiting scholars from all walks of life. The diversity that comes from different lived experiences allows for the MHC community to grow stronger. This scholarship helps us further our goal of supporting diversity within The Mahurin Honors College.”
