Support: Scholarship

At nearly 40, I returned to school to pursue a degree in Manufacturing Technology—balancing work, family, and faith while chasing a future built on purpose and precision.

What sparked it? A lifelong fascination with how things are made—how raw materials transform into something functional and beautiful through technology and craftsmanship. I’ve always loved solving technical problems and working with my hands, and now I’m turning that passion into a career.

I carry with me the wisdom of Mrs. Johnson, my high school science teacher, who taught us not just facts, but how to think, how to believe in ourselves, and how to keep asking the right questions. I sing in my church choir, play on a kickball team, and serve on the STEAM team at work—but this journey is one of the hardest and most meaningful things I’ve taken on.

And this scholarship? It’s more than just support—it’s hope. It tells me that someone believes in my goals, my potential, and the road I’m walking. It reminds me that my hard work matters and that I’m not doing this alone. Knowing someone has invested in my future helps me keep going, especially on the hard days.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to you for making this scholarship possible. Your generosity not only eases the financial burden of my education but also inspires me to keep working hard and pursuing my dreams. Knowing that someone believes in me and my potential gives me hope and motivation every day. Thank you for investing in my future and helping me take meaningful steps toward a successful career in Manufacturing Technology.”
