1st Sports Scholarship

Javarous Faulk is the first deaf student from his Georgia county to earn an athletic scholarship to college. Faulk will attend Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, North Carolina where he’ll play football. Despite being mainstreamed, Faulk mostly communicates using ASL. He attended Central High in Macon, Georgia where he was given a Student of Excellence Award by the state. The county honored him with a Beacon of Light Award just this month.
