Lilly, Early Childhood Education Major

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities my scholarship has provided for me and my school journey! I am majoring in early childhood education and minoring in art. The programs have been amazing in pushing me to my goal of becoming a teacher!

Receiving a scholarship allows me to be close to my family, friends, and work while obtaining a quality education. I plan on pursuing graduate school by obtaining a master’s degree in psychology.

Taylor, Business Management Major

My scholarships have lifted the burden of needing to work during the school year. That support has given me the freedom to invest in my studies, grow as a student-athlete, and prepare for life beyond college.
