Hi! I’m Bryana. The Donnita Craft Foundation was founded in honor of my beloved Mother, Donnita Craft who passed away when I was 15 years old. I know that if my Mother were living, I would have not struggled nearly as much as I did financially throughout college. My vision, inspired by my Mother, is to give HBCU students a chance to make it in life regardless of the backgrounds and struggles they have faced. It took a village to help me make ends meet semester after semester. I applied for numerous scholarships to help me fulfill my lifelong dream to become a Registered Nurse. I want to become a part of the village and give back by helping others during a very pivotal time in their lives. I am a proud graduate of-THE-Southern University’s School of Nursing as a Registered Nurse. In my days as a nursing student, I recall becoming discouraged because of the financial burden that I had. Students with no financial help often lose their classes because the tuition wasn’t met.  I want to be able to provide some financial relief by helping students get to the next step that they need.
