Delta State University College of Business and Aviation senior Miya Sanders of Hollandale has been awarded one of the inaugural Colgate-Palmolive Inspire Our Future scholarships. Sanders and nine other finalists from around the country were awarded $10,000 educational scholarships to pursue supply chain, engineering, sales, and marketing degrees.
According to the scholarship website, selection was based on academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals and objectives, and online recommendations. The awards are renewable for up to two years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Recipients can use funds not only for tuition at an accredited college or university but also for other educational expenses like on-campus housing, textbooks, laptops, and more.
