The Deniece Pittman Scholarship Program
The Deniece Pittman Scholarship Program is named after Deniece Pittman, the Co-Founder of At The Table and Founder of the Deniece Pittman Scholarship Program. Deniece was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2012. Although her mother and other relatives had suffered from this disease and had even passed away, she never thought she would hear the words, “You have Cancer!”
While undergoing treatment, Deniece had a deep concern for her husband and children, and the emotional and financial hardship they would have to bear if she did not beat this disease. She asked herself two questions: “Will my children be able to go to college?” and “Will they be OK as they enter early adulthood?” Deniece quickly decided that she had to fight to survive for herself and the sake of her family.
In May of 2023, Deniece was diagnosed with a blood cancer called Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Deniece found herself again, fighting to survive. She was determined to keep her faith and trust in God for complete healing of Cancer and to never return again!
Today, Deniece is an eleven (11) year cancer survivor and gives God all the Glory for a second chance at life. As she continues this journey of survivorship, Deniece will empower more women and girls through her personal story and testimony through The Deniece Pittman Scholarship Program which will support them to WIN and THRIVE at life!
The Deniece Pittman Scholarship was established in 2018 and has awarded $5,000 in scholarship funds to higher education.
The scholarship enrollment is Closed!
