Please do not share or respond to the Tennessee State University / Meharry scholarship flyer currently circulating online unless it can be verified directly through official TSU or Meharry websites.
The flyer asks students to send information to a personal Gmail address rather than an official university email or application portal, which is a significant red flag. Legitimate university scholarships are normally handled through official .edu websites and admissions offices.
Before sharing personal information, families should independently verify any scholarship opportunity directly with the colleges involved.

Important Update: South Shore Farmers Market Canceled This Sunday
Dear neighbors and supporters,

Due to the forecasted high temperatures in the nineties this coming Sunday, we have made the decision to cancel this week’s South Shore Farmers Market. The safety and comfort of our vendors, shoppers, and community members are our top priorities, and extreme heat can make outdoor gatherings unsafe and uncomfortable.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back next Sunday when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for everyone. In the meantime, stay hydrated, stay cool, and continue supporting local businesses in other ways.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding. Stay connected with us on social media for updates and future market news!

Stay safe and see you soon!
