Blanquieta Hogue Downs Memorial Endowed Scholarship

The Blanquieta Hogue Downs Memorial Endowed Scholarship was set up to honor the life, accomplishments and values of Blanquieta Downs through an annual outstanding student scholarship for female returning students at the Brookhaven Campus. The scholarship recognizes Blanquieta’s own journey as a successful returning student whose goals of completing a college education and becoming a staff member of a community college counseling program were realized before her untimely passing in 1993. This legacy continues her work with returning adults, providing support and encouragement through this memorial scholarship.
