| SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS |
SUZANNE C.
2008-2009 & 2009-2010 Recipient
Major: BS in Health Sciences
Suzanne was one of our first scholarship recipients. Her and her daughter
Erin, attended our second event and both are remarkable women. GNO is
extremely proud to provide her with this scholarship to assist her in reaching
her higher education goals.
Unable to attend college right out of high school, Suzanne now has the
opportunity 32 years later. "As a single parent of a disabled child, the greatest
obstacles I face are financial in nature; therefore, your financial assistance
has helped lessen a tremendous burden." Suzanne is beginning her fourth
year of school and is working towards her BS in Health Sciences with a
double minor in Business & Economics. She states, "I really enjoy all aspects
of school, especially the sense of accomplishment it gives me. To date, I have
successfully completed 96 credit hours with a 4.0 GPA."
JENNIFER H.
Missouri Southern State University
2008-2009 Recipient & 2009-2010 Recipient
Major: Health & Sciences & Registered Respiratory Therapist
Jennifer is also one of our first recipients. We had the pleasure of meeting her
at our event last year and is very excited to see her finish her higher education
goals in the summer of 2010!
Jennifer M. Howell is a 39-year-old woman with a 14-year-old daughter and a
19-year-old son. She attended night school in Kansas off and on from 1998 –
2005 before moving to Mt. Vernon, Missouri in 2005 to be closer to her
grandparents. She had promised her grandparents that she would go back
and finish that degree. After their passing in 2007 & 2008 she got back in the
game and set out to finish her education. In the summer of 2010, Jennifer will
not only have her Associates degree but also her Bachelor’s degree in Health
Science and will be a Registered Respiratory Therapist.
"I cannot express how much it has meant to me to get back into school and
see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much for the scholarship
Girls Night Out, Downstream Casino, Sophie, Carlson Chiropractic Center
and Oasis Salon and Day Spa.”
BILLIE B.
NEO A&M College
2009-2010 Recipient
Major: Physical Therapy Assistant
Congratulations! Billie is our newest scholarship recipient this year. She is a
single mom and is now in her sophomore year at NEO.
Billie figured out her calling in the 8th grade when she volunteered for a group
called "Kids Helping Kids." It was then she decided "to do something would
allow me to touch the lives of handicap children and to be changed by having
them touch mine." In 2007, she decided it was time to go back to college. Her
first semester was nothing buy extraordinary when she made Phi Theta
Kappa, an honor society for two-year college students, and the Presidents
Honor Roll. This semester she is beginning her first round of clinicals and by
July 1st 2010 she will be taking her state board exam.
