Lassandra Walker

The Dorothy Walker Dearon Scholarship, funded by Lassandra Walker, aims to support undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in biological sciences, public health, or applied physiology. This scholarship recognizes the financial barriers that can limit students' potential and seeks to empower goal-driven individuals who are focused on advancing research and public health. The scholarship emphasizes the importance of ambition, drive, and impact in the selection of its recipients, particularly favoring underrepresented minority students, first and second-generation college students, and those with volunteer experience.
