Puckett
Scholars
 Eudora Sawyerr
Role models. That's the best way to describe Kirby
and Tonya Puckett according to current Puckett Scholar Eudora
Sawyerr.
"They are not simply benefactors giving money for
school to poor minority students. And they are not just good
people," says the freshman interior design major. "They
have earned a reputation as people who give everything—their
money, their time, their concern, themselves—to helping
others."
More than a scholarship, Sawyerr calls the award "an
incentive" to strive for greatness: "Every time
I start to think ‘take it easy, you don't have
to try so hard,' I check myself. I do have
to try hard. I owe it to the men and women who believed in
me to get me this far. I owe it to my mother and father;
I owe it to my teachers; I owe it to Kirby."
