Travel

Not having stayed in Germany before, Kennedy White, Shirey Coffey, and Albert Le thereby
qualified to apply for the free summer Study Trip Award based solely on the merits of their
national standing (one nominee for the state of Alabama) and the Audrey Lorde Scholarship
for minority students (new in 2022). Kennedy White was awarded a free Summer Study Trip
as an Audrey Lorde Scholarship recipient, and Shirey Coffey was selected as the alternate for the traditional Study Trip scholarship.
