Nathan L. Anderson Memorial Scholarships Awarded At Oakwood University

Nathan L. Anderson Memorial Scholarships Awarded At Oakwood University
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on October 31, 2013


The Nathan L. Anderson Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. recently completed the Calendar Year 2013 Scholarship Awards Cycles after providing scholarship assistance to nine (9) Oakwood University (OU) students.

For the Spring-2013 and Fall-2013 Semesters, funding assistance was provided to five students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing: Veeron Fleming, Stephanie Harris, Anisa Ogboenyiya, Antonia Primus, and Adrian Rolle. Assistance was also given to four students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Music: Justin Brown, Eleejah Kitchell-Bush, Alain Gervais, and Devin Morrison.

Total scholarship assistance provided from the Foundation for OU students during the Calendar Year of 2013 amounted to $25,500. During Calendar Year 2012, OU students received $18,500 in assistance from the Foundation.

The Nathan L. Anderson Memorial Scholarship Foundation is an independent, private not-for-profit 501(c)(3) foundation incorporated in 2010, in memory of Nathan L. Anderson.



In his short, but remarkable, lifespan Nathan was by profession a Computer Scientist, a Lieutenant in the United States Public Health Service, a licensed Private Pilot, and a formally trained, gifted musician. He was a 2005 graduate of OU, as are both of his sisters, Nicole A. Anderson, B.Mus. (2008), and Nichelle G. Anderson, BSN, R.N. (2011).

The Foundation is primarily focused on providing scholarships to support students pursuing college degrees in Computer Science, Nursing, Music, and Aviation. The Foundation's secondary focus is providing grant support to educational institutions that Nathan, Nicole, and Nichelle attended, including the George E. Peters Seventh-day Adventist Elementary School in Hyattsville, Maryland.

The foundation is funded by donations given in memory of Nathan. Proceeds of a dual CD set of Nathan's music "Love Lifted Me," available online at iTunes, Amazon.com, and CD Baby, are helping generate funding for future scholarships.

Further information regarding donations, scholarship eligibility, or CD sales is found at http://www.rememberingnathananderson.com.
