Quote by SAU Business Management major and Magnolia resident Ashunty Weaver,”
“In high school, I worked two jobs to save money for college so that my parents would not have to pay for everything on their own. Still, my savings were not enough to cover my expenses for college. When I walk across the stage as an SAU graduate, I will remember the Campbell & Company Insurance Agency and the opportunities that were provided to me through this scholarship.”
