The Gloria Brown Scholarship for graduating Black, Indigenous, Bi-racial and/or Students of Color was started to honor Gloria’s legacy. Brown wanted to provide opportunities for talented individuals whom, she knew from personal experience, are too-often overlooked for educational and professional opportunities. “Representation counts because of the message to the public about belonging,” Brown once said.
Learn more about Gloria Brown’s story in her own words in the book she co-authored, Black Woman in Green, Gloria Brown and the Unmarked Trail to Forest Service Leadership.
