In February, North Campus sophomore Akin Anderson, 20, a mass communications major, was awarded two scholarships: The Tillow Fund Endowed Scholarship for his academic accomplishments, worth $1,000, and the Anti-Poverty Scholarship by City of Miami Commissioner Keon Hardemon based on an essay contest, worth $2,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe [scholarships] definitely helped me with academics, whenever I need it for a class or books,\u201d said Anderson, who received the awards throughout the spring. \u201cI\u2019m a family person, so I kinda helped my family out when I need[ed] it too.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
