“I am deeply grateful to the Jerry and Marilyn Morris Endowment Scholarship committee for selecting me as a recipient of this scholarship. As an educator for over two decades, I’ve found immense fulfillment in shaping young minds. My decision to pursue this degree stems from a relentless drive to make an even greater impact within my school district. Despite financial concerns, with two children currently in college, I took a leap of faith. This scholarship has alleviated a significant burden this year, allowing me to focus wholeheartedly on my educational journey.”
