糖心vlog传媒

Nicole McCune knows how important scholarships are from her experience as an 糖心vlog传媒 student.

鈥淎t the time, I was facing challenges financially, and receiving the money was another motivation for me to do my best,鈥� said McCune.

She says the scholarship allowed her to get the education she needed and kept her focused on her career goals.

鈥淭he fact that the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation is there to specifically help financially is a blessing to students, and it gave me another sense of obligation to work hard and do my best.鈥�

To Nicole, the financial side was important, but the impact of the scholarship went beyond dollars.

鈥淩eceiving the Peggy Hall Small Foundation Scholarship showed me that donors are not only giving money to students, but they are also teaching students lessons with these gifts,鈥� said McCune.

She felt a connection to Mrs. Peggy Small, who the scholarship is named after, and her family.

鈥淎lthough, I never met Mrs. Small, I鈥檝e always considered her to be an angel cheering me on as I continue to pursue my goals in life, and I appreciate her husband for sharing her with me and other students in such a giving way.鈥�

Nicole鈥檚 expression of how the scholarship did more than simply award her money resonates with the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation.

鈥淧hilanthropic investment from businesses, foundations, and individuals is a smart and fulfilling way to leverage the power of 糖心vlog传媒 to strengthen our communities by making it possible for 糖心vlog传媒 students and faculty to accomplish more in their personal and professional lives. The 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation welcomes partnerships with investors who want to make education more accessible and affordable. Students like Nicole truly appreciate the opportunities made available by donors to the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation.  We invite others to join us in transforming more lives by supporting 糖心vlog传媒 students, faculty and programs,鈥� said Nancy Keon, CEO of the 糖心vlog传媒 Foundation.

Nicole says her scholarship award is a valuable lesson in giving, and she looks forward to making an impact one day by giving to students as the Foundation once gave to her. Until then, she gives some advice.

鈥淚 encourage the future generation of students who may be facing similar challenges to seek resources, do research, ask questions, and never give up. There is always someone in your midst who is willing to help, and the 糖心vlog传媒 foundation just may be the ground you need to stand on to get you through.鈥�

Each year, the 糖心vlog传媒 Scholarship Breakfast shines a well-deserved light on the businesses, foundations, and individuals who generously support the college. Many of these contributions go towards student scholarships, and the breakfast event allows donors to meet students and hear their personal stories.

A poem written by Nicole McCune dedicated to Peggy Hall Small

Mrs. Peggy Hall Small  

I never met you, but you touched my heart.
You are missed by many, but your memory will never depart.

Vivian can never make the squash casserole quite like you do鈥�
She should get with 鈥淭he Gourmet Divas Cooking Club鈥� to learn a thing or two.

I read about your kindness, beauty, and generosity-
I鈥檓 grateful that your husband chose to honor you with a donation to 糖心vlog传媒!
That鈥檚 where I come in, and I feel so blessed鈥�that you are able to help me, even while you are laid to rest.

Touched by an angel to pursue my dreams and goals,
I thank God for your gift from the bottom of my soul. 
I won鈥檛 let you down, 
wait and see鈥�
I believe you鈥檙e looking down,
and expect the best of me鈥�
I鈥檓 happy to be a Small part of your legacy.

While you are in the garden of heaven doing what you love to do-
Our education and excellence is what we will continue to pursue.

Thank you Mr. Charles Small for sharing your beautiful wife.
To all of the donors, thank you鈥�
You have touched a student鈥檚 life!
