"I chose Marywood University because of the excellent Education program. It is held to the highest standard and has a reputation of excellence for all of the right reasons. I love having smaller class sizes because it allows me to connect on a deeper, more meaningful level with all of my professors and classmates. I have met some of my best friends through my classes and met professors that have shaped me into the person and student that I am today. The faculty within the Education department inspires me to dream big, work hard, and put my all into everything that I do. They are phenomenal role models that have influenced my life in countless positive ways. I am extremely thankful to have these relationships.
Semester after semester, you have reminded me that there are people who value me and my education. I am forever grateful for you and your generosity. This semester has been difficult with all of the uncertainty and unprecedented times in the world. Despite feeling burnt out at times, your contribution continues to inspire me to put my best self forward in everything I do. You give me purpose when I need it most and you remind me to persevere! This scholarship allows me to chase my dream of being a Special Education teacher and make a difference in this world. That would not be possible without your support, and I am forever thankful from the bottom of my heart!"
