The Scholarship supports students who have overcome adversity in life and desire a chance to earn a certificate or degree. The Scholarship is established in the name of Kenny’s parents who provided every opportunity for him to achieve academic success in spite of challenging financial circumstances.
In November of 2020, in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the ‘2nd Chance’ radio show, the ‘212 Community Service Scholarship’ is being endowed at Oakwood University. The scholarship will go to a sophomore, junior or senior psychology major who is also engaged in community service. The scholarship celebrates my commitment to service and Oakwood’s motto, ‘Enter to Learn; Depart to Serve.’
This scholarship is endowed by Mother Tibbs’ daughter, Sonya Tibbs and son-in-law, Kenny Anderson who became her primary caregivers in their home in the final years of her life. After her transition in December 2022, I learned that Mother Tibbs attended AAMU many years ago, and although she did not complete her degree, she wanted to become a social worker. This scholarship will go to support the academic success of undergraduate and graduate students majoring in social work and who have shown resilience in the pathway to graduation.
