Fall 2025 Scholarships Are Now Open!

Kaitlin

Melissa Wright Memorial Scholarship

Receiving this scholarship has meant the world to me as a new mother returning to school to complete my degree. As I strive to better provide for my family and set a positive example for my son, the financial support of a scholarship has helped to alleviate the burden of tuition costs and allow me to focus on my studies and family without added stress.

This opportunity has not only empowered me to achieve my educational goals but also demonstrated to my son the value of perseverance and determination in pursuing dreams, no matter the obstacles. With this scholarship, I could invest in my future and create a brighter tomorrow for my family, fostering a legacy of hard work and ambition for my son to emulate as he grows. 

My determination to pursue my educational goals despite facing obstacles is long overdue due to stepping back to support my husband in his career and simply feeling uninspired. Choosing to obtain a paralegal certificate and a degree in legal studies is a significant step towards my dream of working in the legal sector. By setting this example for my newborn son, I am instilling in him the values of perseverance and the belief that it is never too late to pursue one’s aspirations. Thank you for your generous support!
