It was a thrilling day when I found the acceptance letter in my mailbox to Davenport University. However, it was that much better when I discovered I was also the recipient of a scholarship to help pay for my tuition.
I attended Davenport University as a single-mom, working during the day, and trying to finish my Bachelor's degree at night. They offered an accelerated program which I was very grateful for. It wasn't long before I completed my Bachelor's degree in Business/Marketing and graduated with highest honor.
My scholarship eased the heavy burden of student loans and allowed me to focus more on my education rather than worrying about how I was going to pay for it. Without my degree, I would not be where I am today -- a successful entrepreneur -- managing partner in a non-profit consulting firm.
This is my story. But there are so many others. Today I contribute to the scholarship fund at Davenport University to help those who cannot afford higher education on their own. It's the least I can do -- for someone provided that amazing opportunity to me.
