Derricka Jones ’22 summarizes what receiving scholarships meant to her. “Every scholarship that I have received since attending Norfolk State University has allowed me to focus on my education without the worry about finances. The scholarships have helped me believe that NSU genuinely wants me to be a part of the student body and to matriculate successfully,” said Jones, who was a DNIMAS (Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences) scholar and electrical and electronics engineering graduate. She also received the Provost Scholarship, the Strength NSU Endowment, the Carnival Fund and the Virginia Aerospace Business Association Scholarship.
