PINE BLUFF, AR. - D.J's Music Site's HBCU Campaign September 2012 - HBCU of the Month - University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff is honored this month as the Tom Joyner Foundation School of the Month for June.

One student named Andrew Bingham, who is a sophomore majoring in Industrial Technology of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) has been named a Hercules Scholar by the Tom Joyner Foundation. Bingham, who's a native of Memphis, Tennessee but originally from Kingston, Jamaica has a 3.8 GPA and is a well-known soccer athlete in his hometown where he won the Track and Field Championship in 2010. He was also named the Male Athlete of the year in 2011. While at UAPB, he remains actively involved in track and field, but also tutors in areas of his strength. Andrew is also a member of the Carolyn F. Blakely Honors College, and gives credit to his father as the most influential person in his life. Andrew is working hard to earn as many internships as possible to gain valuable experience in his field in preparation for a successful career and other post graduate pursuits. Andrew will receive $1,500 scholarship grant from the foundation as part of its School of the Month Initiative.

According to the Foundation, each month the Foundation designates a Historically Black College/University to receive its support. As the school of the month for June, UAPB will use its fundraising efforts to support the Tom Joyner Scholarship at UAPB.

The Hercules Scholarship is named after Joyners 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.
