$100,000 Scholarship Donation

This is pretty cool. Ken Brown entered SIUC in 1984 with a C average and a lifetime of poverty including 10 home evictions. With the aid of the Center for Academic Success and financial support from Penn Grants and guaranteed loans, he graduated from SIUC and entered a career in the food industry, where he's done well enough that he is now contributing $100,000 to scholarships for minority students at SIUC. Nice to hear stories like this, hope to hear more of them. If you want to hear more about his story, Brown will speak at SIUC at noon on Jan 26th.
