We'd like to introduce you to a few folks...

Senior Emily Stransky is the recipient of multiple Foundation awards, having received the Business Administration Scholarship, the John Glenn Phillips Memorial Economics Scholarship, and the Joseph and William Byers Memorial Scholarship. She will graduate this year with a degree in Environmental Sustainability.

"I am very thankful to receive these scholarships to attend college," she says. "To not be in debt when I graduate is going to be a great feeling!"

"Earning a scholarship has been emotionally uplifting in addition to financially beneficial," says junior Leslie Deffinbaugh of being awarded the Ronald Reeder Scholarship, also designated for Environmental Sustainability majors. "I hope to one day come full circle and be able to make a difference in another student's life as well."

Junior Kristi Edwards received the James and Pamela Watson Scholarship. "This scholarship allows me to be able to attend college," she says gratefully. "Without it, I wouldn't have the financial means."
