The Third Annual Windsor D. Ferguson Memorial STEM Award was recently given to two students from Upper Marlboro who are Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama.
The awards and their accompanying scholarships were given to Jamia Mason, a freshman, and Maya Sullivan, a sophomore at the Essay Contest and Scholarship Awards Program of the President of Tuskegee University. Such announcements can be made known to the general academic community through poster printing and other types of printed materials.
Sullivan is a pre-veterinary major and has received many other awards and recognitions, among them being a recipient of the Capital’s Gold Award Scholarship of the Girl Scouts Council, and a pre-veterinary medical scholar and Tuskegee University Scholar. She has had internships at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and at Adams Morgan Animal Hospital and plans to do an internship at Vet Up! College at Purdue Veterinary Medicine in West Lafayette, Indiana this summer.
Since she was a young girl, she has been involved in summer enrichment opportunities throughout the country to learn more about caring for animals.
Mason has already demonstrated her academic and leadership skills in her first year of college. She is also interested in becoming a veterinarian and has shown a deep interest in caring for animals. Cheryl Jones, the daughter of Windsor Ferguson, commented that her dedication reflects the character of her father.
