Previous Scholarship Recipients
"As a 2025 Bryant Searcy Scholarship recipient, winning this scholarship is an incredible honor. Mr. Searcy was a leader, a hard worker, and a community advocate who deeply resonated with my own aspirations and goals. His commitment to lift up others inspires me as a student pursuing a career in Mechanical Engineering, where I hope to encourage more young minority women to explore a career in the STEM field.
This scholarship reminds me of the positive impact I can make on this world and the lasting legacy that Mr. Bryant Searcy has left behind for me to grow. Mr. Bryant Searcy’s Scholarship will help ease my journey at Spelman College, and during challenging times, I will think about Mr. Searcy’s dedication to keep me motivated in my studies. I am grateful and blessed to receive support from the Bryant Searcy Scholarship Committee and his family, and I can not wait to carry on his legacy to inspire others to achieve and be great!"

"Opportunity, Care, and Preparation. Three words I would use to describe the Bryant Searcy Scholarship Foundation.
Being the 2024 recipient of the scholarship fund, I was truly honored to be selected, but most importantly, to be acknowledged not just as a student but for who I am as an individual. With this scholarship, I was able to be $2,500 closer to closing the $20,000 gap I had for school and fulfill my newfound dream of a college education. This scholarship meant the world; I met many wonderful people, including the scholarship board members and Mrs. Sherry Searcy herself. They all welcomed me, made me feel accepted, and inspired me as a winner.
Overall, this scholarship has granted me and built the foundation of a debt-free college education and the inspiration to continue through college and finish successfully!"
2024 Scholarship Recipient
"Being the inaugural scholarship recipient was not only an honor but a huge blessing and privilege. As I was going through my senior year, one of my biggest concerns was financial stability. Finding scholarships is a hard and long process and unfortunately I had little to none.
So when I was blessed to receive the Bryant Searcy scholarship, you can only imagine the love and joy I felt. This scholarship is one of the reasons I am able to continue my education at school and I am still to this day very honored to the first chosen recipient.
Sherry and the scholarship committee helped to contribute to my education, and I thank you all so much. I thank you for not only blessing my life but continuing to bless others with this amazing and sacred scholarship."
