Highlights From the 2023 Maryville University Scholarship Dinner: March 29, 2023

“This scholarship assistance helps me with the cost of my tuition. Being from a lower-income family makes it difficult to make ends meet, so this scholarship has lifted a financial burden. It not only helps cover the cost of tuition, but it is also helping me achieve my goal of becoming a nurse. Thank you so much for supporting me and making my dreams come true.”

“This scholarship is truly an honor to receive because I do not receive any financial assistance from anyone in my family. I have had to keep a customer service job throughout college because I just could not afford to quit. Working understandably distracts me from my studies and takes time away from internships. With this scholarship, I am able to focus less on work and making money and more on school and internships.”

“With your support I can attend school without worrying about the cost of tuition. Not having this financial burden, I can focus solely on my education. Without your support I would be in extreme college debt. I greatly appreciate your consistent support and am truly blessed to be a recipient of the Melissa Brickey Endowed Scholarship.”

“This scholarship has made a financial difference for me because I am in my first year of teaching, while trying to adjust to living on my own for the first time. If I had not received this scholarship, I would not have been able to go back to school to pursue my master’s degree. This scholarship allows me to further my education so I can eventually obtain my doctorate degree. Thank you so much for your financial support.”
