Florida Excellence UF's Fountain Named 2025 Andre Anderson Scholarship Recipient
Victoria Fountain is a Master of Urban and Regional Planning student at the University of Florida looking to deepen her expertise in transportation, housing, and economic development.
While attending Spellman College, Victoria's passion for urban planning was sparked after examining economic disparities in her predominantly Black hometown of Conyers, GA.
Frustrated by the lack of diverse businesses, she sought to understand the root causes of limited development. Victoria researched economic stagnation in Black communities, particularly Atlanta’s West End, and uncovered the lasting impact of past planning decisions.
That's when she decided to become a planner!
