Southern Legacy has created a new program called the Eagles for Eagles program which is designed to help students in need of financial assistance.

 The program was created when Southern Legacy realized that Georgia Southern University is under no legal obligation to assist students in need of financial assistance.

 “We have been planning to launch Eagles for Eagles since November, and then when that fire happened to the student in ROTC, we were like, ‘Yes,’ this is what Eagles for Eagles is for. Helping students like him in ways that the school can’t,” Cordero Curry, a senior political science and geography major and president of Southern Legacy, said.

 “There are two parts to Eagles for Eagles and I really love them both. The first is designed to help students in hardships, like the student in ROTC whose house burnt down recently. And the second is Eagle Opportunity, which is designed to help students who want to do unpaid internships, or study abroad, or alternative spring break or something like that,” Curry said.

 Eagles for Eagles is designed to help students graduate, no matter what the financial need, Curry said.
