The BLN/Artia T. Small Scholarship is designed to help give back to a community and university that has given so much to our family. Artia was a proud USF alumnus, twice over for her undergraduate and graduate degrees. Our family thought this was an appropriate way to celebrate her legacy and invest in the next generation of USF scholars. We are firm believers that education is the great equalizer and we want do our part in providing access.
