Success Stories

Bryanna Burkett

Business Administration / Tennessee State University

Bryanna Burkett is the daughter of Cheryl McLeod, the Lead Server in the Park Springs dining room. She is a recent graduate at Tennessee State University. As a Business Administration major, Bryanna has a passion for working with students perhaps in a college administration setting. 

At TSU, Bryanna excelled. She served as a Tiger Tour Guide working with the Admission Office. She is a member of the Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society, and the Business Fraternity, was a lead University Ambassador, and has earned a place on the TSU’s Dean’s List countless times. Bryanna’s love for her school is evident, as she feels that TSU’s support system is superb. “There is a system of mentoring from both faculty and students from freshman year until graduation that creates a wonderful family environment on campus.”

Bryanna sends her gratitude to The Foundation and the residents of Park Springs: “I would like to thank the Members of Park Springs dearly because the scholarship I received helped take extra stress away from me and my family. Your financial contribution assisted in helping me remain focused on my education and nothing else.”
