Your gift helps students like Arnold Thomas Bigger achieve their dreams. He is a 2012 graduate, and received the Phillips Cooke Scholarship for the 2010-2011 academic school year. That helped him graduate with a bachelor’s degree, then move onto to obtain a master’s degree. The alumnus is a licensed educator teaching at a preparatory school in the District.
Bigger’s love for knowledge continues to grow, he is continuing his graduate studies as a Doctor of Education candidate. Now that Bigger is a UDC partner, he realizes the impact the scholarship made in his life. “I give back to the Paul Phillips Cooke Scholarship,” said Bigger, “because I am the result of the foundation I received from UDC. I will continue to support the Paul Phillips Cooke Scholarship because the Paul Phillips Cooke scholarship continues to support me.”
