Delta State University alumnus Will Bradham believes in giving back. That\u2019s why the Merigold resident created the Bradham Family Scholarship to provide two annual $500 scholarships to undergraduate students in the College of Business and Aviation. They must be enrolled full time, earn a cumulative GPA of at least 2.8, and participate in some aspect of campus life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always tried to give back,\u201d said the 2001 graduate, who majored in marketing, and whose brother, sister, and brother-in-law also are Delta State alumni. \u201cIf it\u2019s something I believe will make a difference, I give.\u201d<\/p>\n
Delta State made a difference to Bradham, he said. \u201cI feel I owe the university a lot more than it owes me,\u201d said the owner\/operator of Right at Home of North MS, Delta Maids, and Bradham Rental Properties. \u201cI feel a good education and the right experiences while getting that education will shape the leaders we so desperately need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Positive Delta State experiences for the Clarksdale, Miss. native included serving as president of the Catholic Student Association, Kappa Alpha Order, and the Interfraternity Council.<\/p>\n
Bradham worked his way through college, selling shoes at Conerly\u2019s in Cleveland and waiting tables and bartending at Crawdad\u2019s in Merigold. That\u2019s another reason for the scholarships. \u201cI hope they provide a little help to those that truly need it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s also why one of his favorite quotes is: \u201cSuccess is measured by the amount of people you help along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
