The LUNAA Scholarship was presented by Donzella Allen, treasurer of the LUNAA Guthrie Chapter #137 an esteemed alumna of Langston University. Reflecting on the mission of the LUNAA Guthrie Chapter #137, Ms. Allen shared, “When we were chartered, our mission and goal was to help students from Guthrie. We know how it was when we were students and it was a struggle, and it always seemed like during your senior year, you run out of funds, and you need additional financial assistance.”

Ethan applauded his freshmen academic advisor, Jennifer Myrick, who commended him, stating, “He’s doing so well, he’s a good young man with good roots.”  

Ethan’s exemplary academic record, boasting a 3.8 GPA played a significant role in earning this scholarship. “I just stayed focused, worked hard, and didn’t get too distracted,” he shared.

The LUNAA Scholarship is specifically designated for students attending Guthrie High School who maintain a 2.5 GPA or above and choose Langston University as their academic institution. Allen expressed her satisfaction with their choice of Langston, stating, “I’m glad that they decided to come to an HBCU where they know they can make it and we will help them.”
