Jared Artmore of Texas Southern named Tom Joyner Foundation “Hercules Scholar”

June 12, 2014 by sarterbery

(Dallas – June 12) Jared Artmore, a sophomore, Pre- Pharmacy major from Beaumont,Tex., has been named this week’s Tom Joyner Foundation “Hercules Scholar”. He plans for a future in the medical field with an aspiration of becoming a pharmacist.

His personal motto is “never give up” and is role model in life is his parents.

At Texas Southern, Jared is heavily involved on campus and is a member of several organizations such as the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Thomas F. Freeman Honors College, Urban Academic Village,  and the Texas Southern University Wind Ensemble (Tuba).

Texas Southern University, in Houston , Tex., is the Foundation’s School of the Month for June which is part of its on-going effort to help keep students in historically black colleges and universities.

The Hercules Scholarship is named after Joyner’s father, the late Hercules Joyner, who was a strong supporter of higher education. To be a candidate for the scholarship, students must be male, attend a Foundation “School of the Month”, have a grade point average of at least 3.5, and be a campus leader involved in the community with a career goal toward making a difference in the quality of life for his race. The scholars each receive a scholarship grant of $1,500 that is paid directly to their school to help offset their college expenses.

Founded in 1998, the Tom Joyner Foundation (https://tomjoynerfoundation.com) has focused on its primary mission of helping to keep students enrolled in Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs). The Foundation has raised more than $60 million to help keep students enrolled in black colleges, has assisted more than 25,000 students and worked with more than 100 HBCUs. Each week, the Foundation announces outstanding male student scholarship winners, called Hercules Scholars, on the nationally syndicated radio show hosted by its founder, Tom Joyner.
