Hometown: Tahlequah, Oklahoma
Major: Doctor of Osteopathic MedicineScholarships are not only affirming, but they help with the very real challenge of finding ways to pay for school. Loans come with interest and often force people into taking jobs that pay more to help relieve that burden. With less loans, I can pay off this debt more quickly and focus on work that I care about, which is helping underserved populations both in the U.S. and internationally.
I would offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you. It is inspiring and appreciated to know that there are people willing to help others. I know that when I start earning an income, I plan to help others as I have been helped. I hope the donors know that their scholarship is not only helping me, but others in the future.

Receiving the Women for OSU scholarship holds profound significance for me as it allows me to continue to pursue my degree in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice. This scholarship has given me an amazing opportunity to deepen my academic studies and has helped relieve me from financial burdens.
I would express my profound gratitude for their generosity and the incredible opportunity they've provided. Their support means the world to me, and I am deeply thankful for their contributions.
Major: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Scholarships have impacted my college experience in several aspects, spanning from financial opportunity to personal and leadership development. The most significant impact from scholarships is their capacity to offer others' trust and faith in me to continue working toward my aspirations and making those aspirations financially viable as well.
I truly cannot thank the donors enough because they have not only made it possible for me to continue my education at OSU, but they have also granted me the opportunity to eagerly work toward my future with the trust that I will reach where I am meant to be. I would like to express my gratitude for those with deep passion for OSU who continue reinvesting into younger generations. Their generosity continues to grow the Cowboy family with loyalty and integrity, which is a philanthropic movement I aim to join one day as well.
