Lincoln establishes scholarship for murdered student

Lincoln University has established a scholarship fund in honor of a student who was murdered late last year.

D’Angelo Bratton-Bland was shot and killed in December 2018 in Jefferson City. The 23-year-old was the president of Lincoln’s Student Government Association.

The school says the goal is to raise $10,000 for the D’Angelo Bratton-Bland Endowed Scholarship Fund by May 1. Call 573-681-6070 if you want to donate.

Bratton-Bland was on track to graduate from Lincoln this spring. The school will award his degree posthumously in May.
