Our students are making a world of difference in medicine, engineering, education, the arts, and beyond. Without your support, some of our brightest minds would not have the opportunity to pursue an education that enables them to change the world.
Listen as students share their inspiring stories, and say “thank you” to the donors who have changed their lives:
Thank you for the difference you have made!
“I came to the Warner School from Ghana to develop my goal of becoming a better research-oriented educator, and to eventually set up teaching and learning centers across the globe. I wouldn’t be able to achieve that without support from my scholarship and Warner.”
—Benjamin Teye Kojo Boison
First year PhD in Education, Teaching and Curriculum. Recipient of the Scandling Scholarship.
“Being able to participate in the Upper Bound Pre-College Program at the University made me realize I wanted to be a teacher and give back to the community. Being a Brady Scholar, and then being able to turn around and help other students means so much to me.”
—Crystal Colon ’17
Arts, Sciences & Engineering, English Major. Recipient of the Brady Scholarship.
“For so many students, donor contributions mean the sole difference between realizing their unabridged potential and not. It’s not only encouraging, but inspiring to know that there are still people in this world who love and give and serve so selflessly.”
—Nick Searcy ’16S (MBA), ’19M (MD)
Simon Business School, School of Medicine and Dentistry. Recipient of the Sue and David Reh Scholarship, and the Anderson and Engel Endowed Scholarship.
