Hargrove Establishes New Scholarship

Dr. James Hargrove and Josh Reaves

Dr. James Eryk Hargrove, a 2008 graduate of LSUSD, recently established a scholarship fund that awards $500 each year to a first-year dental student. This year's recipient is Joshua C. Reaves, a native of Baton Rouge. Dr. Hargrove selected the winner based on essay submissions; Reaves was chosen from five applicants. A 2008 graduate of LSU, Reaves majored in biological engineering. After graduation, he worked as an intern in a civil engineering firm before starting dental school.

The scholarship follows the student as long as he or she maintains a 3.0 GPA. Each year Dr. Hargrove will award another scholarship to a first-year student.
