There is a new scholarship at Florida Atlantic University, thanks to a big donation.
This scholarship, named the Alan B. and Charna Larkin Student Opportunity Fund within FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, is the result of a $1.6 million donation by Charna Larkin.
Not only can students get extra money for college, they can hit the books in the newly-established Alan B. and Charna Larkin American Presidential Study in the library.
This space will have collections of 45 presidential letters signed by all the American presidents, ranging from George Washington to Donald Trump.
It will also consist of a student study and gathering place, small lectures rooms, a reception area, and other special programs for students.
“This gift reflects the generosity of the Larkin family and their commitment to making an impact on the lives of our students and community, as well as improving access to important historical information,” said FAU President John Kelly.
Students that are from the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and have an interest in the American presidency can also apply for this scholarship.
