Why I Give to Bethune-Cookman University: Sherry Paramore

Sherry Paramore, Class of '91, Political Science

Neither of my parents attended college, but they always stressed the value of education, both believing that it was truly the great equalizer. My great-great grandmother had been a student during the early days when it was an all-girls school, so they wanted me to attend Bethune-Cookman. I thank God for my parents who cultivated such educational values and a heart for service. As a first-generation college student, B-CU instilled those values in me as well.

The scholarship really is a financial saving grace for me, as I don't have the money to pay for a school and it is a blessing that I was given this opportunity,” said Thomas.
