Angela Meriedeth

"This scholarship means a great deal to me as it was hard for me to take the leap into graduate school in general. As a first-generation college student, there was happiness in my family that I graduated undergrad, so the push to take my education even further was not even on the table. The pandemic has given me some spare time and professionally I had reason to get my master's degree. I am still paying (and will be for a long time) my student loans from my undergraduate degree, so having the assistance of this scholarship is not only important to me but contingent on the speed at which I complete this degree. I am grateful to have been chosen!"
