Berry A. Claytor Scholarship ($5000) generously donated by Reginald Smith to African American Linguists for an African American student to study at Beijing Normal University.

Claytor Scholarship Recipient: Darius Melvin, BA, Johnson C. Smith University; MBA Wake Forest University

Melvin's initial response upon learning that he had won the scholarship.

Mr. Smith,

As I mentioned to Dr. Wilberschied (AAL Scholarship Chair), I am honored to have been selected as the recipient of the Berry A. Claytor Scholarship. I can't explain how much this means to me, my family and my chinese professor (she was crying today in class because she was so happy).  

Darius

Melvin's follow-up communication to AAL upon returning from China.

Dear AAL,

I hope everything is going great for you! First, I would like to thank you all for your contributions with the Berry A. Claytor Scholarship. China was a great experience for me that I'll never, ever forget! In fact, I want to go back in the near future.
