BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Jermaine Richardson and Mahoganey Jackson, both of Buffalo, have been named recipients of Beulah Alexander Memorial Scholarships in Social Sciences at the University at Buffalo.
Richardson, a graduate of Hutchinson Central Technical School, plans to major in exercise science, while Jackson, a graduate of the Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts, intends to major in nursing. Both are freshmen at UB.
The scholarships for outstanding African-American students from Western New York are funded through a gift to UB's College of Arts and Sciences by alumnus Beuline Crawford in honor of her mother.
Richardson and Jackson will receive $1,000 per year for up to four years as long as they remain in academic good standing.
