The Swan & Sparrow Scholarship
The Swan & Sparrow Scholarship was created in memory of Leslie Richardson, a classically-trained songstress who performed for audiences across the world for decades. She studied at Howard University and always said that this experience was the catalyst for her musical success. So, in her honor, this scholarship was founded to help others to have the same opportunity. If you can contribute to funding this scholarship, you can make a positive impact on a young person. Your contribution will matter, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps in making a dream come true.
