Academic & Extracirricular Highlights:

• 3.79 College GPA
• Lifelong artist working with a variety of mediums, selling my work online and at art shows.
• Full-time Parent: Being a military spouse and a mother, I take care of my son every day of the year. While living away from home, I don’t have much physical support from family or friends. So it is often just me and my son, especially during deployments.

Jessica Wright – Direct Support Professional

“To be able to have this opportunity is a privilege. This is the first scholarship I have ever been awarded, and this really shows me the potential that I have. Recognizing one’s own potential can be difficult and obtrusive to progress. I know now that I am capable, which is huge. Receiving this scholarship really helps me with tuition, and it means so much that I can avoid student loans for awhile longer.”
