Michael and Carol Donovan established this scholarship to assist first generation Radford University students. As reflected in the scholarship name they believe "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of GodÔÇÖs grace in its various forms." They would like the scholarship to award a student who worked during high school or demonstrates commitment to family, church, or community service and is the first person in their family to pursue a college education.
