The privilege of receiving your award will allow a 44-year
old single mother the opportunity to help others in a professional capacity as
a psychologist, as well as ultimately allowing myself and my son to escape the
bonds of poverty and life a better life.
Betsy Baker
I truly enjoy learning and crave learning opportunities. For
a while now, I have felt a deep desire to expand my formal education, to
improve my craft, and to achieve personal growth in my educational goals. The Minerva Scholarship program helps me, and
many other women return to school and reach our academic dreams. I am grateful to be counted alongside these
great women.
Lora Duncan
Harriet Beecher Stowe once observed, “The Bitterest tears
shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” My desire to live a purposeful life, filled
with service has led me to the MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy)
profession. Receiving a Minerva
Scholarship has been an unexpected blessing which assists me to be able to look
forward with gladness to the day I am able to serve in my chosen career.
Gail Henricksen
Your generosity and encouragement have once again warmed my
heart. I will forever be grateful to the
Minerva Scholarship board for helping me strive for a goal I thought was
unreachable. I am becoming a registered
nurse.
Tabatha Hoffman
Thanks for this generous gift, I am able to continue my
education at Western Governors University.
I plan to pursue a career in special education. My educational pursuits would not have been
financially stress-free without the assistance of the Minerva Scholarship.
Kristin Mauldin
Thank you so much for investing in me. It means so much to me.
Kim Sullivan
I am so excited to receive this scholarship. It is making my
lifelong dream of becoming a teacher a reality.
Delfina White
Thanks to the Minerva Scholarship, I have been able to
pursue a master’s degree mid-career.
Without the financial support, I simply wouldn’t have the means to seek
further education. I am so grateful for
Minerva’s belief in my ability to complete this degree while continuing to work
fulltime. I hope my efforts will honor
those who so faithfully donated to these funds in order for me to pursue higher
education as I strive to support my family, further my career and contribute to
the well-being of our community.
