ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ men's basketball player Kenneth Farr II was named as one of 10 recipients of this year's ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, East Bay African American Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) Scholarship.
Each year the AAFSA awards a number of scholarships to both undergraduate and graduate students who are making a difference at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ in the classroom, on campus and in the community.
Farr, a rising sophomore guard, was featured on the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ athletics department Web site. He talks about the scholarship and the benefits and challenges of being a student-athlete.
He said he decided to attend ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ because "...of the location, the education program, and because of my interest in the basketball program. He plans to major in liberal studies and go into teaching with a future aspiration of being a principal.
Farr and the Pioneer men's basketball team will be back in action in November, when ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ is set to enter its first year as a full member of Division II and the CCAA. The Pioneers will be eligible to compete for both conference and national championships during the 2011-12 season.
