Perri Efurd
We are pleased to introduce Perri Efurd of Fort Smith, AR to the Degen Scholarship Program! She received a $3,000.00 scholarship to UCA where she is working on her Masters in Speech Language Pathology.
She relates, “I grew up with friends who received speech therapy so they could better connect with the world, and I saw their confidence shift as they found their voices.” Also, her mother practiced as a speech pathologist for 20 years until illness forced her to step away to focus on recovery.
Watching her mother motivated her to study and learn. And seeing the importance of this field to the people that are closest to her, keeps her intrigued about speech-language pathology and empowers her to learn more each day. We cannot wait for you to graduate, Perri! Welcome to the Degen Scholarship Family.
