Columnist Desiree Cooper writes about the Howard Baker Foundation, which offers scholarships to deserving Wayne State University students. Baker, who founded the Baker Trucking Co. in the 1940's, left the bulk of his estate - $5 million - to the foundation in 1992. The scholarships, established especially for those studying nursing or the sciences, have totaled about $5 million over the past decade. "This year, we've pledged $1.1 million to support a pilot Urban Scholars/Leaders Program," said Michele Baker, who is executive director. "It will help WSU students combine community service with their academic program." Contact information about the Foundation and its scholarships is provided.
