The
Davon Green Franklin Foundation
Legacy Scholarship
Don't Just Live A Life; Leave A Legacy.
~Davon Green Franklin
It was in the tenth grade, while attending Western School of Technology and Environmental Science, Baltimore, County - a profound thought entered Davon's mind to start a foundation. Davon rushed home to share his brilliant idea with his parents. He stated that when he finished college; he would start the Davon Green Franklin Foundation in order to help more students attend college. It was at the family's sacred desk that he coined the phrase: "Don't Just Live a Life; Leave a Legacy." Even as a high school student, Davon understood the importance of earning a college degree was not only important for himself, but for others as well.
Davon was a graduate of Western School of
Technology and Environmental Science and class president for the class of 2005. Davon was a participant in the Community College of Baltimore County, Catonsville-Upward Bound Program from 2001-2005. At the time of his passing, he was a candidate for a Bachelor of Science
Degree from Howard University in May 2010. While attending Howard University in Washington, D.C., Davon became a Howard University Campus Pal and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. Davon was a beloved student at Howard University and at Western School of Environmental Science in Catonsville, Maryland.
The Davon Green Franklin Foundation awarded its first scholarship within months of Davon's passing. Many of Davon's friends, family members, and individuals from the community have helped to champion this great cause. The Davon Green Franklin Foundation is committed honoring Davon's legacy by awarding scholarships in Davon's memory. Let's face it, college costs a lot more than what it did just seven years ago and by supporting the Davon Green Franklin Legacy Scholarship, you are helping a student with tuition, housing, books, supplies, and even helping to subsidize their meals. The Davon Green Franklin Legacy Scholarship is crucial for our recipients and it helps to secure a promising future.
