Two GSU students selected to receive Shade Room scholarship
Dec 10, 2020

GRAMBLING, La. (KMSS) – Two Grambling State University students have been named the first recipients of The Shade Room First Generation scholarship.

The Shade Room established the scholarship fund for first-generation African American students. 

Selected were Natasha Jacobs of Monroe, Louisiana, and Jacques Lockhart of Lake Providence, Louisiana. Jacobs’ major is elementary education. Lockhart is a nursing major.

“The Shade Room Scholarship will mean everything to me.  It will allow me to finish my studies at Grambling State University.  I have exhausted my financial aid and I am classified as a senior,” Jacobs said.

“Graduating college has been a dream of mine for years and I finally had the courage to enroll. I want to make a difference in the classroom and help the students achieve their goals,” she said.

The scholarship will help Lockhart continue his studies.

“I currently do not receive any money from financial aid and I’m struggling to pay for school,” he said. “I’m a nursing student at Grambling State University and nursing is very time consuming so I’m only able to work weekends, which is not a lot of money to pay for school. I have been working hard to save up for college, but with the exorbitant costs of tuition and nursing school, my part-time jobs haven’t been enough.”

“The scholarship effort was a part of our mission to create as many endowments at HBCUs as we can,” said Shade Room Founder Angie Nwandu. “Grambling was the first HBCU we started with.” 

“The minimum GPA is low because I graduated with a 2.8 GPA and couldn’t get into law/grad school,” Nwandu said. “I would like to give college students like me an opportunity for success.”

TSR still does a lot more damage to the black community than it helps, but congrats to the recipients. It seems like the money will go a long way for them.

I know nothing about most of these other sites other than when they get mentioned here. Toxicity is a magnet for clicks, likes, and subscriptions I imagine. Negativity thrives here, so I imagine that it drives traffic and content at the full fledged gossip sites.

Hit the nail on the head here. And to that point, I can’t fault the founder/owner of TSR for taking advantage. People want gossip and the latest in low class behavior more than anything. If it wasn’t her, someone else would do it.

When I saw that Joe Rogan threads were still being posted in TLR, I stopped taking a LOT of stuff written here seriously.

This is the second scholarship fund created by the owner of that site. Both are endowed. The first was at her Alma mater, Loyola Marymount.
